Authors should submit their articles on an IBM-compatible diskette, preferably in Word Perfect format, along with two hard copies (print-outs). They should send with each article a brief abstract (not more than 100 words) of its content. They should also submit a short note about themselves, including any academic or institutional affiliation.

Articles in French, Spanish or Dutch will be accepted and may be published either in the original language or in translation or in both. If a translation is made, the author's approval of it will be sought before publication.

In addition to articles, we invite the contribution of research notes and notices of books or theses in Caribbean History currently in progress.

Articles and book reviews (both text and notes) should be typed, double-spaced, and submitted on quarto (8'/2" x 11") paper. Endnotes (not footnotes) should be used. The endnote format included in most word-processing software should be avoided. Instead, footnote numbers should be generated manually, using superscript. Otherwise, wherever possible, the default settings in the software should be used (for tabs, margins, etc.). Quotations should be in double inverted commas (quotations within quotations in single inverted commas). The titles of published books and journals should be in italics (not underlined), and the titles of articles in double inverted commas. Repeat references to a single cited work by an author should only bear the author's name and pagination (e.g. Smith, 44). Where more than one work by the same author is used repeat references should carry a short citation which serves to identify the work (e.g. Smith, Caribbean Society, 48). Archival sources and other references to depositories should carry the reference to the depository first (e.g. C.O. 11 1/46, Bathurst to Beard, 12 June 1818).
