Permian Historical Society: A Journal of the History of Agriculture, Farming, Ranching, Energy, Environmental, Cowboy Culture, African-American History, Indigenous People and Borderlands in West Texas and Southeast New Mexico is a peer-reviewed, interdisciplinary journal, that publishes scholarly essays that explore the history and culture of the area of West Texas and Southeastern New Mexico known collectively as the Permian Basin.
We publish researched essays pertaining to the history and culture of the Permian Basin, Texas, and the West.
Essays should be accessible to an interdisciplinary scholarly audience.
The Permian Historical Society has been in existence for 60 years and is published in print and electronically, with full-text availability through EBSCO academic databases such as Biography Reference Center, History Abstract with Full Text, History Reference Center Plus, and Humanities Source.
Essays and review articles should present well-focused arguments or narrative of approximately 10-15 pages (2,250-3,600 words, including footnotes). Conference papers and thesis or dissertation chapters must be revised to make fully developed, self-sufficient arguments.
Manuscripts should follow The Chicago Manual of Style, 17th edition (with footnotes kept to a minimum). List name and affiliation on a separate cover sheet, but include only the essay’s title on the manuscript itself to facilitate blind reading of submissions.
Please include an abstract of 150-200 words that summarizes the key points of your article.
Electronic essay submissions only, please. Acceptable file formats include:
• Word (.doc or .docx)
• Rich Text Format (.rtf)
We also need complete contact information, including preferred email address, and street address. If submitting an article, please send your text as an email attachment to Mr. Troy Hobbs: Hobbs_T69189@utpb.edu.
