The inaugural issue of the Journal of the North End Historical Society is issuing a call for papers. The Journal is multi-disciplinary and accepts submissions on a wide range of topics including history, geography, sociology, statistics, biography, and architecture, as well as state-of-the-field essays, book reviews, reviews of films, museum exhibitions, and Web sites.
All works must be of relevance to the North End of Boston. The inaugural issue seeks to encompass the widest possible range of North End history, from the early Puritan settlement into the present.
The Journal encourages submission on, but does not limit, topics such as:
• Puritan North End
• Colonial History
• Irish Immigration and Settlement
• The North End’s Jewish Community
• Portuguese in the North End
• Sacco and Vanzetti
• Gentrification and Urban Renewal
• Politics and Policy
• Architecture
• Religious History, Festivals, Churches
• Italian and Italian American History
Deadline: November 1, 2010
