Tributaries is North Carolina's only peer-reviewed journal fully dedicated to maritime historical and archaeological topics. The journal seeks to support continuing historical, archaeological, and cultural research by publishing articles directly related to the maritime history and culture of North Carolina. Articles addressing North Carolina's historical relationship with other states and placement within the Atlantic World are also encouraged. Tributaries also accepts a range of articles in the field of maritime studies, and interdisciplinary historical research is welcome. All members of the maritime history community, including students and independent researchers, are invited to submit articles for consideration. Contributors need not be members of the NCMHC or live in the state of North Carolina. Manuscripts submitted must be based on original research and analysis, and all manuscripts are subject to a peer review process and editorial review.
