EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE

THE SOCIETY was organized by Kansas newspaper editors and publishers in 1875 and soon became the official trustee for the state’s historical
collections. Since that time the Society has operated both as a non-profit
membership organization (KSHS, Inc.) and a state agency (KSHS).  A onehundred-two-member board of directors, through its executive committee
(three of whom are appointed by the governor), governs the KSHS, Inc. 
The Kansas State Historical Society is part of the executive branch of state
government.
The mission of the Kansas State Historical Society is to identify, collect, preserve, interpret, and disseminate materials and information pertaining to Kansas history in order to assist the public in understanding and
appreciating their Kansas heritage and how it relates to their lives. This
is accomplished through educational and cultural programs, the provision
of research services, and the protection of historic properties. The Society
headquarters are in Topeka, and it operates sixteen historic sites throughout the state.

Kansas History is published quarterly by the Kansas State Historical Society, Inc., and contains scholarly articles, edited documents, and other materials that contribute to an understanding of the history and cultural heritage of Kansas and the Central Plains. Political, social, intellectual, cultural,
economic, and institutional histories are welcome, as are biographical and
historiographical interpretations and studies of archeology, the built environment, and material culture. Articles emphasizing visual documentation,
exceptional reminiscences, and autobiographical writings also are considered for publication. Genealogical studies generally are not accepted.
Manuscripts are evaluated anonymously by appropriate scholars who
determine the suitability for publication based on the manuscript’s originality, quality of research, significance, and presentation, among other factors.
Previously published articles or manuscripts that are being considered for
publication elsewhere will not be considered. The editors reserve the right
to make changes in accepted articles and will consult with authors regarding such. The Society assumes no responsibility for statements of fact or
opinion made by contributors.
