The executive committee of JWHA is announcing a search for a new editor of the John Whitmer Historical Association Journal. The association has published the journal annually since 1981. Since that time, the journal has established a reputation for excellent, independent scholarship in the field of Restoration studies/Mormon studies. In particular, the journal is known for articles on the history of the broader Latter Day Saint movement, including (but not limited to) the history of the Reorganization and of the Midwestern Latter Day Saint traditions.

The editor works in conjunction with one or more associate editors, an editorial board, a copy editor, a typesetter, and the book review editor. The editor is responsible for overseeing the entire editorial process, from soliciting articles, to eliciting changes from authors, to delivering the edited manuscript files to the typesetter.

Historically, the editor has served for a term of three years, and the executive committee is hoping to renew that tradition. The position carries with it a modest stipend.

If you would like to be considered for the position of editor of the JWHA Journal, please send your resume/vita and a cover letter to Barbara Walden, JWHA President: BWalden@KirtlandTemple.org
