IA: the Journal of the Society for Industrial Archeology, publishes original material concerning industrial heritage. Broadly conceived, our focus extends to the considerations of sites, artifacts, processes, landscapes, and individuals related to the development of industries and industrialized societies. An emphasis on the importance of physical evidence keeps IA in the archeological realm of inquiry and understanding.

IA welcomes articles that seek to describe and explain the industrial past, research notes on current studies, and comments of the status of scholarly study and practice of industrial archeology, including articles on preservation, adaptive use, and interpretation of industrial sites and landscapes.

The author(s) of accepted manuscripts will be advised of needed revisions. Proofs will be circulated for final approval before printing.

Manuscript Submission

Manuscripts may be submitted in hard copy, on disk, or via electronic mail. Because of the blind review, author's name(s) should appear only on the cover letter, not on the manuscripts themselves. For review, submit illustrations in high-quality photocopy form. Submit footnotes and figure captions on a separate sheet of paper or file accompanying the text. Include an abstract of 50-100 words. Preference is given to manuscripts under 7,500 words.

Hard copy submission-- Submit four copies printed clearly on 8.5-x-11-inch bond paper, single sided, double spaced. Use wide margins (minimum 1 inch). Do not hyphenate at the right-hand margin.
