Swedish-American Historical Quarterly is seeking article submissions!
Since 1950 the Quarterly has been a central academic journal in North America for research related to Swedish-American immigration and history, as well as Swedish and American relations. The Quarterly is published by the Swedish-American Historical Society based at North Park University in Chicago. Back issues of the Quarterly have been digitized and are available online thanks to a generous grant from the Barbro Osher Pro Suecia Foundation. The collection is fully searchable and is maintained by the Swedish-American Archives of Greater Chicago, housed in modern, temperature-controlled quarters at the Paul and Bernice Brandel Library at North Park, under the direction of professional archivist Andy Meyer.
The Swedish-American Historical Quarterly is a peer-reviewed academic journal published four times a year, in January, April, July, and October. We invite submissions of article-length manuscripts that advance the understanding of North American immigration history with emphasis on the exchange of people and ideas between the United States and Sweden, as well as the ongoing history of relations between those countries. Comparative and interdisciplinary topics are welcome and encouraged.
Reach out to editor, Mark Safstrom at marksafstrom@augustana.edu for more information.
The society also supports research through three funds:
Nils William and Dagmar Olsson Research Fund – providing grants to defray expenses for original research in Swedish-American history; Franklin D. Scott Prize – honoring the best article by a writer previously unpublished in the Quarterly; and
Emerging Scholars Prize – recognizing the best article among those submitted by currently enrolled undergraduate and graduate students, all of whom receive a one-year society membership.
The Quarterly also includes book reviews, and readers who know of a book they would like to see reviewed, or who would themselves like to write a book review, are also invited to contact the associate editor, Adam Hjorthén at adam.hjorthen@engelska.uu.se
