From Universal York:
Do you have a story tucked away related to York County’s rich history? Maybe it just needs a little polishing, or perhaps you haven’t written it yet. Here is your chance to share that special knowledge.
Five years ago, York County Heritage Trust put out a call for papers for a proposed journal of York County history. It has been quite a success.
The fourth volume was just unveiled a little month ago, but since editing and publishing takes some time, the deadline is fast approaching for the fifth volume, to be published in 2014.
Find more details on the variety of subjects that have been addressed — anything from a 16th-century herbal (giving the medicinal use of plants) brought from Europe by an early York County pastor and physician, through York County’s Civil War damage claims — at Universal York, a blog run by local historian June Lloyd.
Find details on submission guidelines for the journal at www.yorkheritage.org.
