AFHRA Studies and Interviews Publications

The Air & Space Journal and From the Stacks Blog publications of the Air Force Historical Research Agency's Studies and Interviews Division

 

Air & Space Reflections is a United States Air Force (USAF) publication that is created by the U.S. Air Force Historical Research Agency's Studies & Interviews Division, and that seeks to achieve two objectives. The first is to publish timely and relevant historical stories related to air and space power,  as well as highlight historical documents, artifacts, and images within the repository of the Air Force Historical Research Agency (AFHRA). The second is to provide the Department of Defense and the general public with periodic news and updates happening within AFHRA.  Unless noted otherwise, all images and documents contained within Air & Space Reflections are from AFHRA’s repository.

 

Publishing Guidelines for AFHRA Studies & Interviews

The guiding principle of AFHRA's digital publishing is to leverage the archival holdings across the Department of Air Force (DAF) by providing today’s decision-makers with timely historical parallels to current strategy, operations, and events. As such, AFHRA's blog From the Stacks and its journal Air & Space Reflections adheres to the following guidelines regarding field submissions:

  • -Submissions will only be accepted by current DAF historians, archivists, and curators that explore historic issues related to the DAF’s current priorities to: Develop People, Generate Readiness, Project Power, and Develop Capabilities.
  • - Research should highlight documents, artifacts, imagery, and other ephemera located in the Air Force Historical Research Agency’s (AFHRA) archive or its field repositories (i.e., unit-level repositories).
  • - Research must rely solely on unclassified, publicly releasable documents.
  • - Research should consist of no more than 10,000 words, including accompanying endnotes.
  • - All submissions will be considering under a rolling admission calendar.
  • - Submissions from field unit history offices with a current, on-time program (i.e. a satisfactory annual unit history report within the last two calendar years) and endorsement from their respective MAJCOM history office will be viewed more favorably than delinquent programs.

    • Artificial intelligence (AI)-generated articles are not permitted in AFHRA's digital publications, however authors who use generative AI in developing their topics must disclose the use of AI tools during their submission process.

  • If you have any questions about the article submissions process, please email the division at AFHRA.ASR.1@us.af.mil.
