Following recent headlines regarding representation within museums, contemporary collecting and rationalisation, have our attitudes to collections changed? Are we working with objects differently? Who are we curating for? What is curation in the modern museum? Articles are now being sought for the next issue of Social History in Museums, the SHCG journal, to be published in Spring 2020. Following the SHCG Conference in summer 2019, we are seeking contributions on representation in social history and museums. We are seeking proposals for articles from museum professionals, researchers, academics and students. Although we expect and welcome submissions from speakers at conference, we also strongly encourage new contributions from practioners in this field. It is also worth noting that 2020 marks the 400th anniversary of voyage of the Mayflower and the colonisation of America by English Puritans. Articles which situate this in the contexts outlined above would be of interest. Please send an abstract of no more than 200 words to the Journal Editor by Wednesday 18th September. When submitting your abstract, include your name, contact details, job title and institution (where relevant). If your abstract is accepted for publication, the deadline for submission of first drafts to the Editor will be Wednesday 23rd October. Please refer to the attached Guidance for Contributors. Please contact the Editor using the details below if you would like any further information or intend to submit an article. Do circulate this CfP amongst your networks. PEER REVIEWERS As with recent years, there will be a peer review process for submitted articles. Experienced sector professionals will read and comment on articles, and authors will have an opportunity to amend their articles in view of the reviewers' comments. This year we are seeking to add to our small pool of peer reviewers. Please contact the editor if you would be interested in acting as a reviewer or would like further information on what this entails.
