The New Jersey Historical Commission (NJHC; a division of the New Jersey Department of State) and Rutgers University Libraries (RUL), in partnership with Monmouth University, announce a new journal that will publish the most recent scholarship and educational materials about New Jersey’s history and other subjects. The title of the journal is New Jersey Studies: An Interdisciplinary Journal.
The Summer 2015 issue, the very first, showcases articles by Michael J. Birkner (“Governing New Jersey: Reflections on the Publication of a Revised and Expanded Edition of The Governors of New Jersey,” the text of his keynote presentation at the NJHC’s 2013 Annual Conference), Thomas Callahan (“Slieveroe West: An Irish Neighborhood Moves to New Jersey”), Catherine Hudak (“The Ladies of Trenton: Women’s Political and Public Activisim in Revolutionary New Jersey”), and Brian Regal (“The Jersey Devil, A Political Animal”). Other topics covered in this issue include Documents and Artifacts, Teaching New Jersey History, NJSAA Papers, and Reviews.
Melissa Ziobro, who is an instructor of history at Monmouth University and has extensive background in public history, including work in oral history and the history of World War II, is the editor for NJS. If you wish to contribute to the journal and want to know the submission guidelines for articles and reviews, you may contact her at mziobro@Monmouth.edu.
