We welcome manuscripts to be considered for publication in the Museum History Journal, a new, refereed international publication of critical evaluative histories relating to museums, to be published semi-annually by Left Coast Press, Inc., beginning in 2008. The term “museum” will be interpreted to include not only a broad range of museum types, including natural history, anthropology, archaeology, fine art, history, medical, and science and technology, but also related cultural institutions, such as aquaria, zoos, botanical gardens, arboreta, historical societies and sites, architectural sites, archives, and planetariums. A variety of scholarly approaches, such as analytical, narrative, historical, cultural, social, quantitative, and intellectual, are anticipated.

1.         Cultural and social histories that evaluate the impact of museums and/or related institutions in the context of a particular time period
2.         Intellectual histories that emphasize museum philosophy
3.         Histories of museum related professions— museum management, collection management, curation, field collection, preparation, collections conservation, education, and exhibit design

Call for Submissions: The History of Science Syllabus Sampler, Volume III

The History of Science Syllabus Sampler volumes 1 (1992) and 2 (2001) have provided an invaluable resource to faculty members wishing to extend, enrich, and improve their approaches to history of science in the classroom. The Committee on Education announces the creation of a third sampler volume, building on and updating the strong tradition established by Sampler I and II editor, Henry Steffens.
The third volume will be an on-line, rather than a print or “hardcopy” project. This will allow the syllabi to be readily available and easily cross-indexed. It will also eliminate printing and shipping costs, and allow for the inclusion of many more syllabi than a print version could accommodate.

The Sampler III project will include syllabi and syllabi sections for three broad categories of courses: Majors: History of Science Courses for

History of Science Majors

Minors: History of Science Courses as

Enrichment in Other Majors Harmonics: History of Science Content for Non-History of Science Courses

Submissions will be evaluated by a referee committee. Those selected will be published as pdf documents accompanied by brief statements on course philosophy and organization by their authors. The deadline for submissions is 30 September 2007. Please consider submitting your own syllabi, and encourage your colleagues, teachers, and students to submit their own. All inquiries and submissions should be directed to the editor: Julie R. Newell HSS Committee on Education Chair 2007-08
