H-Slavery has been a leading online forum for the academic study of slavery since its founding in 1995. H-Slavery serves as a focal point for informed, moderated discussion and produces diverse academic content including book reviews, blog posts, topical guides, and more. H-Slavery depends on an all-volunteer academic staff composed of scholars of all ranks. Scholars of all disciplinary, methodological, and topical backgrounds are welcome to set up a free subscription and to inquire about serving as an editor with H-Slavery. We also encourage you to write us at editorial-slavery@h-net.msu.edu.

We are especially interested in your Biography, Institutional Affiliation, and Interests. And you need to have your "contact button" active. If you don't have the requested data in your Profile, you will receive a message from us in this regard. We would also appreciate a few words as "request message." To fill out your Profile, click on the Person icon in the top right corner of the page and select ‘Profile’ from under the Manage heading. If you need any help, feel free to contact the help desk by emailing help@mail.h-net.org. If you only wish to receive email notifications, you may apply for the "subscriber" category. Thank you for reading and joining us!
