Are you interested in submitting a manuscript for publication? Please read Information for Prospective Authors (pdf).

Most people who read our books are scholars, and scholars write as well as read.

This is a collection of information bulletins developed over the years by the Museum's Publications Office to help our graduate students and authors write more stylish academic prose, and to keep them informed on technological developments in publishing that might affect how they prepare future manuscripts. We hope you find these useful.
