Feature ArticlesThe BCHF publishes approximately twenty-five articles each year on topics related to the social, economic, political, intellectual and/or cultural history of British Columbia. All articles must be aligned with the BC Historical Federation's Values Statement: https://www.bchistory.ca/resources/Documents/BCHF-Values-2022.pdf Submissions come from writers, academics, public historians, and professionals from across the province. Submissions may include, but are not limited to, feature-length articles, documentary selections, essays, photo essays, memoirs, and information about new books and media. British Columbia History strives to publish content about new discoveries. The goal is to bring to life the province’s history — and its practices and meanings in the present — by telling timely stories about the past. Word count for a feature-length article is 500–2,000 words, plus a selection of suggested images. Submissions must meet the guidelines for articles and images. Regular SectionWe welcome suggestions for the following regular section of British Columbia History: Refracting History: Is there a book, exhibit, website, app, article, artwork, video, podcast, or other initiative that showcases BC’s public history that others should know about? Send it to us and we may review it in the magazine. Refracting History is focused on profiling print and digital media that add missing chapters into BC’s history that reflect diversity in the province in order to inform readers about new research or ways of thinking about the past. | Contact the MagazineEditor, British Columbia History Books, British Columbia History Subscriptions, British Columbia History |
