North Carolina's Public Health Outcomes in the Early Twentieth Century

The current pandemic recalls another public health crisis in the early twentieth century, the influenza pandemic of 1918, which killed some forty million people worldwide and over thirteen thousand in North Carolinian. See David L. Cockrell, “ ‘A Blessing in Disguise’: The Influenza Pandemic of 1918 and North Carolina’s Medical and Public Health Communities,” North Carolina Historical Review 73 (July 1996): 309–327.

Editorial Policy and Submission Guidelines

The editors of the North Carolina Historical Review and the Advisory Editorial Committee seek to publish articles and annotated documents pertaining to the history of North Carolina. The editors and the committee consider originality of material and interpretation, sources, clarity of thought, style, and interests of readers. Materials primarily genealogical are not accepted.

Please submit manuscripts as Word-compatible documents to the editor in chief at joseph.beatty@ncdcr.gov. Manuscripts should generally not exceed thirty-five double-spaced pages, including text and notes. Occasionally, longer manuscripts are accepted. Text and endnotes must be double-spaced. The author’s name and affiliation should appear only on the title page of the manuscript. The journal follows The Chicago Manual of Style, seventeenth edition, in matters of capitalization, punctuation, abbreviation, citation, and the like.
