The Journal of Museum Ethnography (JME) is published annually by the Museum Ethnographers Group (MEG) and distributed free of charge to all members at the beginning of the membership year (April to March). It is also available by subscription.

 

JME is the journal of record for museum ethnography in the United Kingdom. Contributions are therefore invited on all aspects of contemporary and historical practice in museum ethnography, including collecting and collectors, conservation, curation, display and exhibition, documentation, ethics, fieldwork, photography, repatriation, research, and theory.

 

All submitted articles should be original works and not concurrently under consideration by any other publication. Please send submissions of articles, and contributions to the editor as an email attachment (MS Word is preferred) to:

JME does not publish unsolicited reviews. Material and suggestions for review should be sent to the appropriate editor: for books, Harriet Hughes (University of Sussex; عنوان البريد الإلكتروني هذا محمي من روبوتات السبام. يجب عليك تفعيل الجافاسكربت لرؤيته.); for new galleries and exhibitions, Polly Bence (Post-graduate researcher, Bristol and Exeter University, South West and Wales Doctoral Training Partnership; عنوان البريد الإلكتروني هذا محمي من روبوتات السبام. يجب عليك تفعيل الجافاسكربت لرؤيته.).

 

Articles should not exceed 8,000 words. Shorter contributions of no more than 4,000 words—including research notes and ‘work-in-progress’ reports on recent acquisitions and discoveries, conferences, exhibitions, projects, etc.—are especially welcome. Contributions on museum ethnography as practised outside the United Kingdom are also welcome.

 

Book reviews should be between 1000–2000 words in length. Gallery and exhibitions reviews should be under 1500 words in length and accompanied by three images (for image conventions see below).

If you are planning to sumbit an article please consult the 'Full Guidance for Contributors' for information about layout, style, citations, images and our editing process.
