White House History Quarterly features articles on the historic White House and its occupants. With the knowledge that the White House is one of the most richly documented houses in the world and the premier symbol of the American presidency, we publish original research that draws from these resources as well as first-hand interviews, secondary accounts, and the vast wealth of illustrations of all kinds, from drawings to photographs, in exploring the many aspects of so extensive a past. We serve a varied readership, both popular and academic, interested in history, architecture, and biography, all of which we present in the context of the White House and its ongoing traditions.

Prospective authors are encouraged to submit proposals for articles, in the form of abstracts, for the editor’s review. Please refer to the Call for Papers for a list of topics currently being considered for general thematic issues; these include Late 20th and Early 21st Century Fashion at the White House (articles needed on Pat Nixon, Rosalynn Carter, and Laura Bush); The White House in Television (Drama Series, Comedy Series, Limited Series, and Quiz Shows that feature one or more White House episode); The White House and the Sea; Military Roles in the White House; Queen Elizabeth Visits the White House; The White House During World War II; The White House and the South; The White House that Wasn’t (changes and acquisitions considered that did not happen); Children’s Literature and the White House; Mixed Issue (all topics considered)

Topics for other issues may include presidential biography; first family biography; and studies of documentary letters, journals, diaries, and illustrations that relate to the White House.
