Propose a Camden volume

If you would like to propose a Camden volume please do so by completing the Camden Proposal Form which is accessible via the Royal Historical Society’s website.

You will need to append to the proposal form:

• a general outline of the project, summarising the historical importance of the text and the value of its publication (1 x A4 sheet). This should also explain the ground that will be covered in the introduction, and any plans for supporting tables and appendices
• a summary CV for each editor
• a sample of the edited text, with annotation.

Notes and general guidance:

• Introductions should not in general exceed 10% of the total length of the project. The Society will not normally publish volumes which exceed 130,000 words in length, inclusive of introduction, text, and editorial apparatus.
• Texts of less than 60,000 words in length (inclusive of introduction and critical apparatus) will automatically be considered for inclusion in a Camden Miscellany rather than as a free-standing volume.
• In proposing this edition to the Camden Series, the intending editor warrants that it has not been previously published and is not simultaneously being considered by any other publisher.
• The Camden Style Guidelines should also be consulted.
• Camden volumes may use a selection of the following section titles: Abbreviations; Acknowledgements; Appendices; Bibliography; Chronology; Commentary; Dedication; Editorial principles; Foreword; Index; Introduction; List of figures; List of tables; Maps; Note on translation; Preface; Reports. The inclusion of each component, the make-up of the appendices, and the chapter divisions relating to the primary source text will be agreed under the advisement of the volume’s editor and as discretion of the Camden Series Editors.
