Contributions to the Society of Malaŵi Journal:

The Society of Malaŵi was formed in 1946 as the Nyasaland Society
with the first issue of the Journal published in 1948, since when it has remained
in continuous publication. After independence in 1964, the Society was renamed
The Society of Malaŵi and its Journal renamed The Society of Malaŵi Journal
(Historical & Scientific). The purpose of the Society remains to encourage,
promote and disseminate the study of ethnology, history, geography, natural
history and kindred sciences in their relationships with Malaŵi. The Journal is
published twice yearly. Back-issues of the Journal from 1948 may be accessed
online via JSTOR. There is presently a moving one-year wall in place which
means that only the Journals of the years preceding the current and previous
publication years are JSTOR accessible.
The Society of Malaŵi Journal welcomes contributions from both
academics and non-academics alike. All academic papers submitted are subject to
the Society’s peer review mechanism.
Short articles, book reviews, obituaries and letters will also be considered
as well as longer pieces up to a maximum of 6,000 words. Any photographs or
illustrations should be submitted as separate jpeg attachments with accompanying
descriptions and citations as appropriate.
Contributors are specifically requested to submit their contributions in
MSWord format and not to embed photos, illustrations, tables or text within their
narrative but to submit such as separate digital files. Brief autobiographical
details and a photograph (optional) are requested. Any enquiries or queries should
be directed to the Hon Editor in the first instance.

All contributions should be sent to the Hon. Editor:
