Scott Haine, editor of the SHAR, is really best qualified to address this topic
As he is not currently part of listserv, let me provide some guidance as the
British history review editor and an executive committee member.
The SHAR does solicit historical articles on all facets of alcohol and drug use
or abuse.   Issue 25, Spring 1992, for example, contained Richard F. Hamm's
"The Convoluted State: The Federal System, the Prohibition Movement, and the
Liquor Tax, 1862-1920"; Amy Mittelman's "Who Will Pay the Tax?: The Federal
Government and the Liquor Industry, 1880-1933"; George E. Snow's "Alcohol and
Alcoholism in Russia and the Soviet Union: A Review Essay"; and Ron Roizen's
"Mr. Sam, Seagram's, and the Status of Alcohol: A Review Essay."  Such articles
generally provide citations (except in the case of historiographic pieces), and
vary considerably in length.  Please submit the article on a computer disk and
supply a hard copy.  Once the article is received, it is read by the editor and
then sent out to a blind referee for evaluation.
     A new feature of the SHAR is an "Archvies Corner" in which archivists or
others      familiar with records comment  on specific collections.  These ob-
viously require no citations, and are read generally only by the editor. Again
the article should be placed on a computer disk and a hard copy supplied.
     Presently, Scott Haine is flexible about the specific format.  You may use
the Chicago Manual of Style or other formats, with the proviso that consistency
is followed throughout the article.  Length is also flexible: Hamm's article,
based on his AHA Conference paper, was 17 pages in print, doubtless somewhat
longer in the manuscript.  For further information, please contact Dr. Scott
Haine, 6 Parkridge Court, Belmont, CA, 94002.
