Members Article Submission Procedure & Guidelines
ARTICLES for publication in the New Jersey Postal History Journal, NJPH, should be submitted to Editor Robert G. Rose [president@NJPostalHistory.org] or Jean Walton, Layout Editor [secretary@NJPostalHistory.org]. Mailing addresses are:
The NJPH journal exists only because our members contribute to it. We hope all members will feel that we welcome their contributions. Should you have an article still unwritten, we urge you to write it. If you have some item that is of particular interest to you, and that others might also enjoy, please think about writing about it for the NJPH journal. We hope to include all aspects of New Jersey postal history, and will be happy to have your efforts. We are happy to consider articles from non-members as well.
Articles may be submitted in any form, but if possible, we would appreciate your sending us “computer ready” copy - either in WORD or Word Perfect. These may be sent either on disk, floppy or CD, or as attachments to email. Should you wish to embed pictures in your copy, that helps us to see how you would envision the final copy, but we would also appreciate your sending the images separately in digital form. When scanning your material, please scan at 300 dpi in color at 100%, and save your files as .jpgs. This allows us to adjust them for the best possible printing image.
If you do not have a scanner, we can use good photocopies; however this will not result in the best quality images. A better solution would be to send your material to us to be scanned. We will treat it carefully, scan it, and return it to you as quickly as possible. In some cases, it might be feasible to bring a scanner to you. If a photocopy is the best we can have, try setting the copier on the “photo” or “picture” setting to get images that will have more gradients of gray, and look more like the original. We want to make your article look its best.
Handwritten copy is also very acceptable, but please try to avoid last minute submissions that will require typing - we need the time to prepare it for printing. Typewritten copy is also fine. If we can be of any assistance in formatting material, we are happy to help.
Please submit articles to Robert G. Rose, Editor, at president@NJPostalHistory.org, or send material to him at P.O. Box 1945, Morristown, NJ 07962. Material for scanning should be sent to Jean Walton at 125 Turtleback Road, Califon, NJ 07830. Images already scanned may be sent on disk or CD to the address above, or emailed as attachments to: secretary@NJPostalHistory.org
WE LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING FROM YOU! |
