1. The Maryland Genealogical Society (MGS) accepts only electronic material.
2. All advertisements must meet MGS’s criteria for quality of design.
3. Advertisers must submit “camera ready” advertising material in an electronic format such as Adobe PDF or similar. Please note that the resolution that appears in the Journal is directly related to the quality of the images submitted to us. Resolution for an image should be no less than 300 dpi. Advertisements that do not meet these production standards will necessarily result in poorer clarity when they appear in the final Journal print than would advertisements that adhere to these guidelines.
4. The standard page size for the Journal is 6” by 9”, with one-inch margins at the top and bottom and right and left margins of 0.9 inches each. Each page has a header and footer, which are 0.5 inches each. Thus, the cut size is 4.2 inches wide by 7 inches high. An advertisement created in PDF format that meets these dimensions precisely can be incorporated directly into the Journal. Borders will separate ads, located on the same page, that are less than a full page.
5. MGS does not accept advertisements in the Journal for personal genealogy research.
6. MGS reserves the right to refuse any advertisement.
7. Advertisers must provide full payment in advance for advertisements that MGS will accept.
8. MGS reviews and sets advertising rates on an annual basis.
Current rates are:
| Page | One issue | Three issues |
| Full | $65 | $180 |
| Half | $35 | $95 |
| Quarter | $25 | $65 |
| Eighth | $15 | $45 |
9. If your proposed advertisement is accepted by MGS, you pay for your purchase by visiting the Store. For further information and to submit electronic files, contact journal@mdgensoc.org.
