Labor History encourages the submission of scholarship in the history of work and its representation, labor systems, social reproduction of labor, social class, occupational culture and folklore, and worker migration as well as the place to go for new research and argument on the history of the labor movement, labor politics, and industrial conflict and regulation. LH seeks to contribute to a critical literacy encompassing trans-national and even global historical transformations.. Seeking historical perspective, we invite submissions on the designated themes not only from academic historians but also from other scholars, journalists, labor educators, and writer-activists. Full length manuscripts should not exceed 8500 words, 3500 words for research notes (including notes, references and illustrations).

Labor History asks two (three in case of contrary reactions) referees to review each manuscript without reference to the author's name or institutional affiliation.

Free article access: Corresponding authors will receive free online access to their article through our website (www.informaworld.com) and a complimentary copy of the issue containing their article. Reprints of articles published in this journal can be purchased through Rightslink® when proofs are received. If you have any queries, please contact our reprints department at reprints@tandf.co.uk

Electronic Submission. All submissions should be made online at Labor History's Manuscript Central site. New users should first create an account. Once a user is logged onto the site submissions should be made via the Author Centre. Submission using this mechanism allows the entire process of review and publication to be shorter.

Authors should prepare and upload two versions of their manuscript. One should be a complete text, while in the second all document information identifying the author should be removed from files to allow them to be sent anonymously to referees. When uploading files authors will then be able to define the non-anonymous version as "File not for review"

All book review matters should be addressed to Richard Greenwald, Book Reviews, Dean and Professor of History, Caspersen School of Graduate Studies, Drew University, 36 Madison Avenue, Madison, NJ 07940, USA

Manuscripts. An abstract of 50-100 words summarizing the main points of the article should be included. The text should be typed, in a 12-point font. Margins should be 1", left aligned only, please use a normal word wrap function. All parts of the manuscript (abstract, text, notes, references, tables, and figure captions) should be double-spaced.

Tables. Tables should be referenced in the text. All tables should be typed double-spaced on separate pages in the same font size as the text and numbered sequentially with Arabic numerals. Each table should have a descriptive title as well as informational column headings. It is assumed that all graphics will be computer-generated

Illustrations. Maps, graphs, and photos should convey ideas efficiently and tastefully. Graphics should be legible, clean, and referenced in the text.. A fine neatline defining the graphic field is preferred as a visual boundary between the text and graphic. The favored type is Helvetica, and sizes below 6 point should be avoided

Final submission. The final (revised) version of all papers should be submitted in digital form, using any common word processing software. Copy editing will be undertaken once the manuscript has been accepted, using the final version of the paper submitted in digital form. The publisher will advise authors about outstanding questions concerning style or omissions at this time. Authors will be responsible for any additional costs incurred in making substantive changes to the manuscript at proof stage.

Author biography. Final submission should include a brief paragraph of author self-identification, indicating current academic or other work affiliation, previous seminal publications, and any other related points of personal interest and commitment.
