Does anybody know if the journal, New York History, has a web page providing
details on subscription and submission guidelines for contributors?  My
university library does not take this journal and inter-library loan is only
good for the reproduction of specific articles.  I have hunted through the
New York sites, but without any luck.  Any advice, much appreciated.

Regards.
