Stylistic Suggestions

• Since we often use sidenotes, place footnotes in { } directly behind the superscript.
• Punctuation should precede a superscript.
• Use one space after sentences, not two.
• Mark the approximate location for images in the text.

Article Submission Guidelines

HMI board members assume responsibility for publishing Historic Madison: A Journal of the Four Lake Region. Funds do not allow for an annual edition, but we are trying to maintain an 18-month schedule. Copies are free to HMI members and sold to the general public.

Articles should:

• Be between 1,000-8,000 words in length
• Be related to some aspect of Madison area history
• Be about a subject that occurred at least 40 years ago
• Provide or identify possible locations of photographs or illustrations related to the article

Articles will be fact-checked for historical accuracy.

While we cannot pay for articles, authors will receive a byline and biographical sketch. Authors will also receive three copies of the Journal containing the article.
