Fall 2017 Call for Papers

The Saber and Scroll journal is currently soliciting articles and reviews for its fall 2017 edition. Published by the Saber and Scroll Historical Society, this edition will accept works on World War I. The current interest in WWI within the historical community prompted the Saber and Scroll to feature articles associated with this time period for the fall issue.  The early call for papers will give plenty of time for research throughout the spring and summer months.  Topics of interest include Woodrow Wilson’s 14 points, specific battles, tactics and weapons, the effect the war had on the European political map, the influenza  epidemic, The League of Nations,  navy and air power and the effect of the war on the home front, art and culture. 

If selected for the upcoming issue, manuscripts will be due November 1, 2017.
  •   Please note that while the journal accepts abstracts and manuscripts on a continuing basis, the journal may defer those received after these dates to the next issue. To submit your work, click on the journal tab above.

    Please note that all journal submissions must conform to Turabian 8th edition style and formatting specifications.
