We welcome submissions of previously unpublished manuscript transcriptions; new English translations; critical collations of printed material; guides or catalogs that aid in the interpretation of source collections; and scholarship that engages with the ideas described in our mission statement. The NAA is committed to expanding the source base and scholarly horizon of early American studies to reflect the hemisphere’s plural linguistic traditions. We encourage submissions of scholarship written in Spanish or French, and of textual sources written in any language, though all publications will eventually be printed in English. Our peer review policies can be viewed here and our statement of publication ethics here.

A style guide for submissions that are entirely in English can be viewed here, and our guide for submissions containing translated non-English language materials here. 

The NAA also solicits essays and reviews of books, conferences, and exhibitions for consideration for publication in its non-peer-reviewed section, entitled Forum.  

We welcome submissions of up to 10,000 words (excluding footnotes)/14,000 words (including footnotes). Longer submissions will be considered in special circumstances. All submissions should be formatted in Chicago style. Issues will be published in PDF format. Authors are welcome to submit digital supplements, such as XML files or photographs of archival documents, for parallel distribution through our platform. 

All submissions should be directed to: newamericanantiquarian@gmail.com
