The Memoirs of the American Academy in Rome invites submissions for volume 70, to be published in autumn 2025.
The Memoirs is an annual, peer-reviewed publication of the American Academy in Rome. It publishes articles in the following areas: archaeology, classics, history, the histories of art and architecture, economic and political policy, literature, musicology, theory, cultural heritage, and other relevant fields in the ancient, medieval, Renaissance and early modern, and modern periods. We encourage interdisciplinary work on historical and contemporary issues across the humanities including one or more of the chronological periods previously mentioned. Cross-cultural projects that share Italy and its influences are also welcome.
Beginning with volume 65 in 2020, the journal was redesigned and became an open-access and entirely digital publication available via JSTOR.
We welcome manuscripts in English from all categories of scholars, including advanced graduate students, early career researchers, and independent scholars. Affiliation with AAR is not necessary.
