Submissions
WHAT TO SUBMIT
The New American Antiquarian (NAA) welcomes submissions of previously unpublished English manuscript transcriptions; new English translations of non-English manuscripts or imprints; critical collations of imprints; and guides or catalogs that aid in the interpretation of source collections. Authors of transcriptions are required to submit images of source manuscripts along with a scholarly apparatus, including an introduction to the material of no less than 3,000 words.
We also welcome secondary analyses that engage 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 secondary analyses 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.

NAA welcomes submissions of up to 15,000 words including footnotes. Longer submissions will be considered in special circumstances. All text should be formatted in Chicago style.
