LEGACY MAGAZINE

You don’t have to be an interpreter to love Legacy, NAI's premiere periodical. With accessible, well-written articles, interviews, and stunning photography dealing with interesting and important interpretive sites, Legacy is a great read for anyone interested in natural and cultural heritage. 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)
