Washington State Genealogical Society is soliciting articles for a new
journal-style periodical. Our hope for The Washington State Genealogist
journal is to provide a statewide outlet for individuals or organizations to
publish previously unpublished articles containing information of
genealogical value about those who pioneered and developed Washington
State. It is not important what a contributing organization is called or
the position of an individual compiler/author. Sometime in the future we
may ask that contributors be members of Washington State Genealogical
Society, but that is not required now. We especially want to provide small
groups who do not have their own journal for publishing access and
wide coverage of their research.
We would like to explore a wide variety of sources, such as family bible
records; school faculty lists, student censuses and yearbooks; attendees at
pioneer days, company picnics or reunions; indexes for old, unindexed local
history books; newspaper lists of court actions (licenses, dissolutions, land
proofing, probates, etc.); abbreviated extracts of birth, marriage and death
notices, or "gossip column" notes of family interest; genealogies or
ahnentafels of local or state leaders; and other information showing who was
where, when, and doing what.
We hope to receive enough material to publish a 30- to 40-page journal on a
quarterly basis.. We wish to limit articles to no more than four pages in
length, although we could serialize longer writings of particular interest.
Articles need to identify sources using footnotes or end notes, or in an
introductory statement if the article is an extract from a single source.
To prevent copyright infringement, sources must be in the public domain or permission must
be obtained from the copyright holder if the information
extracted exceeds "fair use".
We would prefer articles to be sent as an email attachment in Word or
WordPerfect document or Rich Text (RTF) format. Times New Roman 12-pitch
font is our preference, and pages should have 1-inch margins.
If you would like to send us an article for our first issue, we would like
it sent to my email address no later than 31 January 2006.
I hope this adequately describes our goals for The Washington State
Genealogist. Please contact me if you have additional questions or
suggestions, or if you wish to contribute an article.
Sincerely,
Bob Witherspoon
