HISTORY OF PHOTOGRAPHY is an international, peer-reviewed journal devoted to the history and criticism of the basic semantic unit of all modern media-the photograph. It covers the history of photography from its origins to the present day and is open to all critical approaches, whether historical, technical, art historical, sociological, cultural or anthropological. The journal is intended to address the needs of scholars, curators and critics and to support the work of postgraduate students in this field of study. It is also an indispensable repository of documentary texts, indexes, and bibliographies of all periods and geographical regions.

Submitting a paper:

Please read these guidelines carefully:

• History of Photography considers all manuscripts on condition that they are the property (copyright) of the submitting author(s) and that copyright will be transferred to History of Photography and Taylor & Francis, the publishers, if the paper is accepted.

• History of Photography considers all manuscripts on the strict condition that they have been submitted only to History of Photography, that they have not been published already, are not under consideration for publication elsewhere, and are not in press elsewhere.
  
• Authors who fail to adhere to this condition will be charged all costs that History of Photography incurs.

Format

In the first instance, please send two copies of your manuscript, with photocopies of proposed illustrations, to the Editor. Thereafter the Editor may request that the paper also be sent as an email attachment for editing. If possible, prepare the text of your article in Microsoft Word in a PC format. Prospective should consult a recent issue of History of Photography to see how articles are presented. Please ensure that any submission follows the current style and layout of the journal as precisely as possible.

Author information

Attached to the article, but on a separate page, please list name, address, fax number, if available, and email address. Append a brief note of approximately thirty words indicating your institutional position and affiliation, if applicable, your most important publications and current research interests.

Reference notes

For the submission, please employ endnotes rather than footnotes. Citations in the text should use the system of superior numerals, thus 1 2 3 . Notes should be listed separately at the end of the paper in the order in which they appear in the text using Roman numerals followed by a period, thus, 1. 2. 3. Any acknowledgements authors wish to make should preface the notes but not be numbered.

Usage

Authors are asked to take account of the international audience of History of Photography. Avoid using terms that might be meaningful only to a local or national audience. Some specific points of style for articles and reviews follow. If in doubt, always consult a recent issue of the journal to see how the matter has been handled previously:

History of Photography uses British spelling-i.e. colour not color; behaviour not behavior; [school] programme not program; [he] practises not practices; centre not center; organisation not organization; analyse not analyze, etc. Please set your computer's language accordingly when preparing your article.

Single 'quotation marks' are used for quotations rather than double "quotation marks", unless the 'quotation is "within" another quotation'.

Punctuation should follow the British style-e.g. 'quotation marks precede punctuation'.

Spell out numbers up to one hundred: e.g., sixty, sixty-five, ninety-one and all numbers that can be expressed in two words e.g., three hundred or five thousand. Otherwise numbers over one hundred are expressed in figures-e.g., 'The collection comprises 314 glass negatives and 215 albumen prints'. Numbers used with a unit of measure should always be expressed in figures-e.g., 'nine pupils but 9 mm' (do not introduce periods with measure). For decimals, use the form 0.05 (not .05).

History of Photography prefers UK to 'United Kingdom', US to 'American', and USA to 'United States'.

Punctuation of common abbreviations should follow the following conventions-e.g., i.e., cf.

Dashes (M-dash) should be clearly indicated in manuscripts by way of either a clear dash (-) or a triple hyphen (---), (N-dash) should be indicated by a clear dash (-) or a double hyphen (--).

Apostrophes should be used sparingly. Decades should be referred to as 'The 1980s [not the 1980's] saw ...'. Possessives associated with acronyms (e.g., RAE), should be written as follows: 'The RAE's findings that ...'.

All acronyms for national agencies, museums, examinations, etc., should be spelled out the first time they are introduced in text or references. Thereafter the acronym can be used if appropriate-e.g., 'The Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) in 2000 ...'.

The preferred local (national) usage for ethnic and other minorities should be used. For the USA, African-American, Hispanic, and Native American are used, e.g. 'The African-American presidential candidate, Jesse Jackson...' For the UK, African-Caribbean (not 'West Indian'), etc.

Words in the text to be emphasized (italicized in the printed version) should be underlined in the typescript rather than italicized. Please use such emphasis sparingly. In contrast, references in the text to publications should be set in italics in the typescript. For example, 'The author of Chinese Art Photography is not a native of China'.

Illustrations

When submitting an article for consideration, please do not embed illustrations in the text and do not attach illustrations to any email to the Editor. Once the article has been accepted, illustrations may be sent to the Editor as paper prints, slides, transparencies or CDs. All illustrations must be clearly labelled (see below).

In the text of the essay, illustrations, figures and tables should be referred as follows: figure 1, table 1, i.e. lower case. 'As seen in figure 1...' (not fig. or Fig).

A separate numbered 'List of Illustrations' including the caption for each illustration must be included with the article upon submission. Captions should contain the name of photographer, the title of photograph (italicized), the print process, date and credit line as follows:

Figure 1. Samuel Bourne, Valley and Snowy Peaks Seen from the Hamta Pass, Spiti Side, albumen print from wet collodion negative, 1863-66. Victoria & Albert Museum, London.

Figure 2. Yasumasa Morimura, Self-Portrait (Actress) Red Marilyn, Ektachrome print, 1996. Courtesy of the artist.

Figure 3. David Octavius Hill and Robert Adamson, Hugh Miller, salt print from a calotype negative, before 12 July 1843, Scottish National Portrait Gallery, Edinburgh.

It is the responsibility of the author to obtain illustrations, secure copyright permissions and pay any use or reproduction fees. This can be a lengthy process. Authors should have illustrations in hand when they submit an article for consideration.

Illustrations on CD

We welcome illustrations on CD. Illustrations must be saved on a separate disk from the text. Illustrations should be produced as near to the finished size as possible. Files should be saved as TIFF (tagged image file format) or JPEG [?] formats. Disks should be clearly labelled with the following information:

• History of Photography
• Name of author
• Title of article
• Figures contained on disk
• Hardware used (PC or Mac)
