About the journal

Information & Culture

Information & Culture: A Journal of History publishes high-quality, peer reviewed articles on the history of information. The journal honors its (45+ year) heritage by continuing to publish in the areas of library, archival, museum, conservation, and information science history. However, the journal's scope has been broadened significantly beyond these areas to include the historical study of any topic that would fall under the purview of any of the modern interdisciplinary schools of information, such as the school in which the journal is edited, the School of Information at The University of Texas at Austin. In keeping with the spirit of the information schools, the work is human centered and looks at the interactions of people, organizations, and societies with information and technologies. Social and cultural context of information and information technology, viewed from an historical perspective, is at the heart of the journal's interests. Typical papers might focus, among other topics, on the histories of information institutions, academic domains, professions, work, and societies. The intention is to juxtapose papers on a wide variety of topics related to the history of information so as to stimulate connections that have not been made, for example between the research of library historians, historians of computing, labor historians, gender historians, economic historians, business historians, political and diplomatic historians, cultural studies scholars, critical theorists, and science and technology scholars.

Our history

Established in 1966 as The Journal of Library History, it was edited and published at Florida State University until 1976 when its editorship moved to The University of Texas at Austin. In 1988, its title was changed to Libraries & Culture and to Libraries & the Cultural Record in 2006. In 2012 it assumed its present title, Information & Culture: A Journal of History.

Instructions to Authors
Content Requirements
  1. Interpretive. Good history is about interpretation. Each article must have an historical thesis that is bolstered by an appropriate line of argument and credible evidence that is appropriately cited. Papers are expected to follow the methods of high-quality academic historical scholarship. Articles that are merely descriptive will not be accepted for publication.
  2. Information History. All articles need to be primarily historical in nature and primarily about information. If it is not clear why a paper is about information, the author should add a few pages to explicitly address the reasons and to place the submission in a larger body of scholarship.
  3. Language. Articles written in language other than grammatically correct English at a high academic level will not be considered.

Manuscript Requirements

  1. Manuscript. Articles will typically be 6,000-10,000 words. Longer articles will be considered in the context of whether the topic and treatment merits the extra length, and whether the journal has the space. Shorter articles are possible, too.
  2. Cover Sheet. Include a separate page with article title, author name, address, phone number, fax number, and e-mail address. Do not include personal or institutional information on any page of the manuscript itself, including the abstract (for blind review purposes).
  3. Abstract. Should be no longer than 100 words and should be independent from the body of the article.
  4. Endnotes. Must be formatted electronically in MS Word as endnotes and conform to "Humanities Style" in The Chicago Manual of Style, 16th edition. Notes should include all bibliographic information required by that style. Do not include a separate References or Works Cited section.

Manuscript Format

  • MS Word document in Times New Roman 12-point font
  • Text should follow The Chicago Manual of Style, 16th edition
  • One and a half spaced, including headings, long quotations, endnotes, and captions
  • One-inch margins on all sides
  • Page numbers in the upper right margin
  • All copy aligned left; do not justify
  • Paragraphs indented five spaces with a single tab
  • An extra line of space inserted above and below extracts, subheads, and figure/table/image callouts, but not between paragraphs
  • One space only after each period mark
  • Include first name and/or initial(s) of all persons in the first reference
  • Use title of an organization in the first reference, with acronym in parentheses. Acronyms may be used in all subsequent references
  • Tables should be submitted as separate MS Word files

Photos and Illustrations

Please indicate any images (photos, maps, or illustrations) that may be available to accompany the text. Images should be submitted scanned at no less than 300 dpi, at the size in which they would be published. The TIFF file format is preferred.

Should the article be accepted for publication, it is the responsibility of the author to obtain official written permission to reprint an image from the copyright holder or owner, including preferred wording for crediting the source of the image. Any cost involved is the responsibility of the author. The editor will make the final determination as to which images, if any, will be published.
