Fort Ticonderoga has announced an open call for submissions for The Bulletin of the Fort Ticonderoga Museum. Published since 1927, the Bulletin has been a resource for historians, scholars, and the public for over 90 years, publishing a wide range of articles on North American military history. After a 15-year hiatus, The Bulletin returned to print in 2016 as an illustrated, annual publication.
The Bulletin seeks proposals for new research on military history and culture during the long 18th century (roughly 1609-1815). Fort Ticonderoga is seeking contributions that explore the complexities of waging and sustaining war in the early modern period. While articles on the military events of northeastern North America are encouraged, the Fort is interested in a range of topics and perspectives that can connect or contextualize North American military operations and institutions with broader trends and themes.
Continuing the mandate of the original Bulletin, Fort Ticonderoga welcome contributions from a range of disciplines such as history, art history, material culture, archeology, anthropology, and public history.
Articles may include or engage:
- Material culture and object studies
- Biographical analysis
- Social and cultural histories of early modern warfare
- Annotated transcriptions/translations of primary sources
- Archaeological approaches and case-studies
- International and Indigenous Perspectives
Guidelines for article submissions can be found here. Submissions may range from 4,000-8,000 words. Authors are responsible for obtaining permission to publish any copyrighted material, and for bearing the costs of obtaining or reproducing illustrations. Accepted authors will have free access to illustrations from Fort Ticonderoga’s collections. Submissions receive peer-review after an initial screening.
For consideration for the 2023 issue of The Bulletin, email submissions by email by October 31st, 2022, to Richard M. Strum, Director of Academic Programs at rstrum@fort-ticonderoga.org.
