The journal of the American Society for Ethnohistory

Ethnohistory reflects the wide range of current scholarship inspired by anthropological and historical approaches to the human condition around the world, but with a particular emphasis on the Americas. Of particular interest are those analyses and interpretations that seek to make evident the experiences, organizations, and identities of indigenous, diasporic, and minority peoples that otherwise elude the histories and anthropologies of nations, states, and colonial empires. The journal welcomes a theoretical and cross-cultural discussion of ethnohistorical materials and publishes work from the disciplines of art history, geography, literature, archaeology, anthropology, and history, among others.

The Robert F. Heizer Article Award

This award was established in 1980 to honor Dr. Robert F. Heizer, ethnohistorian and archaeologist noted for his research in California and Mesoamerica and is awarded in recognition of the best article in the field of ethnohistory. All articles published in Ethnohistory are automatically nominated for this prize. Visit the American Society for Ethnohistory website for information about the Robert F. Heizer Article Award and other awards.

Subscriptions include membership in the American Society for Ethnohistory.

Price: $60.00

For Authors

The editorial office of Ethnohistory invites submissions of article manuscripts of 7,000–11,000 words, including endnotes and references. The article manuscript should be prefaced with a brief abstract of 100–150 words and a list of 3–5 keywords, all in a single Word file. Manuscripts should be prepared according to the "Ethnohistory Style Guide," and The Chicago Manual of Style, eighteenth edition. Double-space the lines in each manuscript (including extracts, notes, and references).

Please visit https://mc04.manuscriptcentral.com/dup-eth to submit manuscripts to be considered for publication. You will be asked to enter the abstract and keywords as part of the submission process. All images, large tables, and other supporting materials will be uploaded as separate files.

Ethnohistory has a double-blind manuscript review policy, with the exception of forums and special issues. Members of the editorial board, as well as the associate editors, advise the editors both on specific manuscripts and on editorial policy.

Please read Duke University Press's "Ethics and Policies for Journals," especially the section titled "Originality and the Use of AI." The use of generative AI must be disclosed in your manuscript in order for it to be published in Ethnohistory.
