CMSA Publications Policy

The California Mission Studies Association publishes its own journal and Conference Proceedings. In addition, CMSA may choose to support monographs, translations or documentary materials that it considers of particular benefit to scholarship on the California Missions. Its Publications Committee reviews materials submitted for publication, and makes recommendations to the Board for action. Such scholarly projects, to qualify for modest financial support from CMSA, must submit their proposals early on in the research or publication process. CMSA cannot fund research or publications developed without its early collaboration in the project. All materials and proposals must be submitted to the President of the CMSA Board.
