The Editorial Board of _Osiris_, a research journal devoted to the history of science and its cultural influences, solicits proposals for Volume 18, to appear in 2003. Osiris is a journal of the History of Science Society (USA) published by University of Chicago Press. Volumes in progress or to appear shortly include: historical commemorations and memory; science and technology in East Asia; science and colonialism; and science and religion.
Proposals for broad themes that integrate issues in the history of science into topics of "mainstream" history are especially encouraged, as are contributors from the historical discipline at large. Volume 17, to appear in 2002, will be on science and civil society and will be guest edited by Lynn Nyhart and Thomas Broman of the University of Wisconsin. Prospective guest editors should submit the following materials for consideration: (1) a proposal of approximately 2000 words describing topic and its relationship to the literature to date including, where appropriate, the literature in mainstream history; (2) a list of 10-12 contributors with the theme, topic, or title of contribution; and (3) publication c.v. of guest editor(s). Guest editors and their contributors should be prepared to conform to the _Osiris_ publication schedule. Volume 18 (2003) will go to press-after refereeing, author's revisions, and copy editing- in the fall of 2002. Guest editors must therefore choose contributors who are able to submit their essays by the late fall of 2001. Proposals are reviewed by the _Osiris_ Advisory Board at the History of Science Society's annual meeting in the fall.
Announcement of the next volume of _Osiris_ is made around the New Year. Proposals and all supporting materials should be sent by _October 1, 1999_ to: Kathryn M. Olesko, _Osiris_ Editor, Department of History, Georgetown University, Washington, DC 20057-1035. Preliminary inquiries should be made to Kathy Olesko at: <kolesko@gusun.georgetown.edu>.
