The Journal of Astronomical History and Heritage is published three times yearly, in March, July and November and is published in both paper format and electronically (on a CD). The journal features review papers, research papers, short communications, IAU reports, and book reviews. Papers on all aspects of astronomical history are considered, including studies which place the evolution of astronomy in political, economic and cultural context. Papers on astronomical heritage may deal with historic telescopes and observatories, conservation projects (including the conversion of historic observatories into museums of astronomy), and historical or industrial archaeological investigations of astronomical sites or buildings. All papers are refereed prior to publication. There are no page charges, and in lieu of reprints authors receive a camera-ready pdf or Word version of their paper.
Contributions, including book reviews, should be e-mailed to the Editor, Dr Wayne Orchiston at: Wayne.Orchiston@jcu.edu.au or posted to him at: Centre for Astronomy James Cook University, Townsville,QLD, 4811, Australia.
