Response path

Routine or complex?

Routine catalog, availability, link, and submission-process questions may receive a short assisted response. Questions requiring historical judgment, contractual decisions, rights clearance, unpublished evidence, or an editorial commitment are escalated to the publisher.

No automated response constitutes a publishing agreement, historical ruling, rights license, or guarantee of availability.

Publishing submissions

Authors seeking publication through The Registers of Hérédom™ should begin with a concise inquiry, not a complete manuscript.

Include in the first message

  • Working title and a short synopsis.
  • Author background relevant to the subject.
  • Research field and intended readership.
  • Approximate word count and current manuscript status.
  • Languages used and whether transcription or translation is involved.
  • A short source note describing the principal archives, editions, or documentary witnesses.

Do not send an entire unpublished manuscript, restricted archival reproduction, confidential file, or sensitive personal record until the publishing desk requests it and confirms an appropriate delivery method.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy a book?

Each entry on the Published Works page links to available sellers. Use the ISBN to confirm the exact edition. Price, stock, shipping, and territory are controlled by the retailer.

Can you identify a manuscript from a photograph?

Send only a low-risk descriptive inquiry first. Include the visible title, language, approximate date, holding institution, and shelf mark if known. Do not send images you are not permitted to share.

Will the Archive Guide answer historical disputes?

It can direct readers to relevant books and source systems. Interpretive disputes, unpublished claims, and complex evidentiary questions are referred to the publisher.

Do you accept corrections?

Yes. Identify the page, edition, statement at issue, and the source supporting the correction. Documentary corrections are reviewed on their evidence.
