Legacy
Legacy, a journal of student research, has been published once a year since 2001. The journal enables undergraduate students to present their research to a broader audience of historians and interested readers. All articles published in Legacy are rigorously peer-reviewed and usually revised from research papers done in SIU history courses.
The present faculty advisor for Legacy is Dr. Theodore Cohen, who will be happy to provide more information on how to submit work for publication in the journal. Please contact him at theodore.cohen@siu.edu.
