The Quarterly
Journal of the Society
The Society publishes a scholarly journal, the
Quarterly, four times per year. It includes original articles, book reviews, record transcriptions, queries, and regional and national coming events. A subscription to the
Quarterly is a benefit of membership.
Manuscripts
We encourage article submissions from our members. The StLGS
Quarterly will consider publishing any submission that has merit to genealogical research with an emphasis on the St. Louis area. This may include, but is not limited to:
- Reference articles
- How to articles
- Travel articles
- Personal recollections
- Family genealogies related to the St. Louis area
- Pictorial presentations
- Databases
Electronic submission is preferred. Text should follow
The Chicago Manual of Style, 15th edition. Footnotes should follow Elizabeth Shown Mills,
Evidence! Citation & Analysis for the Family Historian (Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing Co., 1997). Please refer to the Guidelines for Publication for more information about the types of articles accepted and their preferred formats. An Acrobat Reader (PDF) version of the
Guidelines for Publication is available here. Articles in digital format may be sent as an MS Word attachment via e-mail to the
Quarterly editor at e-mail:
We recommend reviewing previous issues of the
Quarterly for a sense of the kinds of articles that will be of interest to our readers.
