Legacy, NAI's
premier periodical, offers a forum for professionals
in the field to exchange ideas and information. Articles,
columns, and commentaries deal with practical issues relevant to
frontline interpreters, planners, and managers.
Subscriptions are
available separate from memberships. Legacy is published
six times a year.
Contribute to Legacy
As the premiere magazine produced by the interpretive profession,
Legacy is looking for professional writing that provides more
than information. Writers for Legacy should make every attempt
to forge emotional and intellectual connections between the interests
of their readers and the inherent meanings in the resources being
described. In other words, Legacy articles should be interpretive,
not just informative. Check your story before submittal to see
if it:
• Relates to the theme of the issue
• Has a specific theme within the article (what is the main idea that you
want to convey)
• Serves a purpose by provoking further thought or action
• Engages the reader by being relevant to their life experience
• Is appropriate for the audience (those who have interest in or visit
interpretive sites)
