AUTHOR GUIDELINES
Manuscript Preparation
Kentucky Ancestors is the quarterly Kentucky familyhistory
and genealogy publication of the Kentucky
Historical Society. Review of past issues will give
authors an idea of the kinds of materials that would be
of interest. Submission of material providing primary
source genealogical material is always of interest as well
as family-history articles detailing the experiences of
people moving from other states into Kentucky and
those who left Kentucky and moved on to the West or
other parts of the country.
Please prepare your manuscript in Microsoft Word.
Endnotes should follow the Chicago Manual of Style,
15th edition, and use the genealogical standard
format of day/month/year, such as 10 May 1842.
Manuscripts should be submitted by either email to
don.rightmyer@ky.gov or on CD to:
Don Rightmyer, Editor
Kentucky Ancestors
Kentucky Historical Society
100 W. Broadway

Our publication schedule will be January, April,
July, and October of each year. Authors should
submit their prospective manuscript for review and
consideration at least ten weeks prior to the quarterly
publication dates.
Five copies of the magazine in which an article
is published will be provided to the author upon
publication.
Image Scanning Guidelines
Please provide digital images of any photos that can
be used with your article. We consider your old
photographs a part of the historical record so we ask
that you send them to us in their existing condition.
We normally do not publish photographs that have
been altered, digitally or otherwise.
Here are guidelines for scanning your photographs.
Scan photos as grayscale (black and white). Images
may be sent as email or by CD. If you will be sending
them to us on a CD, save them as .tif files. If you will
be sending them by email, save them as .jpg files. The
following chart is suggested as minimum resolutions
(DPI).
Original DPI
8x10 350
5x7 520
4x6 650
3x5 820
2x3 1300
Following these guidelines allows the production staff
to resize the images as necessary to enhance their use in
illustrating your article.
