ARCHIVE has now closed submissions for its 2012 issue.
On behalf of the editorial board, I would like to thank all of the dedicated scholars who submitted their work for this year’s issue. ARCHIVE received many submissions of outstanding quality, and we look forward to reviewing them in the coming weeks. Writers can expect to be notified of the editorial board’s final decision by March 9th.
Rolling submissions for vol. 16 of ARCHIVE will be accepted until the final deadline in February of 2013.
Submissions are now being accepted for VOLUME 15 of ARCHIVE!
ARCHIVE accepts submissions from any current UW undergraduate student as well as any alumni within one year of graduation. Publication is not exclusive to history majors and interdisciplinary work with a primary focus on historical content, as well as more traditional historical works, will be considered. Accepted submissions will be engaging, scholarly, and go beyond the existing literature, ideally incorporating primary source research. Typical submissions are of term paper length (20-30 pages), though all qualifying works will be considered.
Submissions are being accepted electronically only.If you have any questions please direct them to Editor-in-Chief Kristen Schumacher at uwarchive@gmail.com
We look forward to hearing from you, and Good Luck!!
Attention senior thesis writers: ARCHIVE is interested in publishing at least one full-length thesis in this year’s issue. Thesis quality works will be considered separately from regular essay submissions, and may be attached to department writing prizes. Please check-in for future updates.
Welcome to ARCHIVE! ARCHIVE is an undergraduate journal at the University of Wisconsin–Madison that specializes in publishing original historical works by undergraduate students. We are unique among undergraduate journals in that ARCHIVE is run entirely by Wisconsin students and publishes work entirely produced by the UW–Madison student body.
ARCHIVE has been awarded the Gerald D. Nash History Journal Award, and since its founding in 2001, has published some of the University of Wisconsin’s finest undergraduate work. ARCHIVE offers promising students (history majors or not) a forum for historical discussion, a platform from which to launch academic careers, and a memento of collegiate achievement.

ARCHIVE helps to achieve these goals and to give voice to the diversity of historical interests on our campus.
