Submit Research

We invite authors to submit manuscripts or propose a themed issue for consideration for upcoming volumes of The Textile Museum Journal. Manuscripts should be based on original documentary, analytical or interpretive research. While scholarship is the primary focus of the journal, content should be accessible to a broad audience. Submissions are selected for publication through a double-blind peer review. For examples of topics previously published, you can browse past volumes.
