The Oral History Review, the official publication of the Oral History Association, explores the recording, transcribing, and preserving of conversations with people who have participated in important political, cultural, and economic social developments in modern times.  The Oral History Review is now offered by Oxford Journals.

Manuscripts should be submitted in triplicate, double-spaced throughout (including footnotes and quotations), and prepared according to The Chicago Manual of Style. Also, submissions should include a Word .doc version of the manuscript, either on a CD (with only a copy of the manuscript on it) or as an attached document to an e-mail addressed to Kimberly Porter. Manuscripts should not exceed 7,500 words in length. Because manuscripts are evaluated anonymously, an author’s name should appear only on the title page. For return of the manuscript, authors are asked to include a self-addressed, stamped, manilla envelope with their submission. Please be aware that manuscripts submitted for publication to other journals should not be sent simultaneously to The Oral History Review, nor should the same or very similar article be published in another journal or periodical if it is to be published in The Oral History Review.
