Publications

The Center publishes the journal Railroad Heritage® as well as books. Publication of Railroad Heritage began in 2000 and has grown steadily, expanding to a quarterly production schedule in 2012 and the current 68-page format in 2021. Members receive the journal by mail every March, June, September, and December. In many years, the Center also produces a book of railroad photography or art. Books complement the Center’s traveling exhibition program and showcase images from the Center’s archival collections.

Proposals and submissions

The Center does not accept outside book proposals but welcomes article ideas for Railroad Heritage, particularly for the series “Railroads and the Art of Place.” Also of particular interest are articles that draw on images from the Center’s collections as well as articles about railroad art other than photography (such as paintings, drawings, sculpture, and other forms of visual media). The current lead time for submissions to Railroad Heritage is about one year. Please send a brief summary (a paragraph or so is a good starting point) by email to info [at] railphoto-art [dot] org.
