The Journal is organized in five sections:
  • The Essays section contains original scholarly studies on aspects of the Maryland Campaign. The essay should be between 5,000 and 10,000 words and may include up to five images or maps.
  • In Their Own Words includes short essays on primary sources (e.g., correspondence) relating to the Maryland Campaign, (1,000 words).
  • Antietam Artifacts features images of Maryland Campaign memorabilia from a museum or private collection with a short interpretative essay (1,000-2,000 words).
  • Antietam Travels features essays describing a visit to a site related to the Maryland Campaign. The essay contains pictures and a description of that site as well as directions for readers to use when they visit. They can be well-known or little-known sites (1,000-2,000 words).
  • The Book Review section is where readers can learn about new as well as old publications about the Maryland Campaign (1,000-2,000 words).
