Greetings H-Net subscribers!
We are pleased to announce the release of the Resources tab, which is now located at the top of all of our Networks. Prior to the release, there was a Media tab that chronologically aggregated all of the contributions uploaded to a particular Network. While the Media tab clearly had some basic archival value, with the development of many diverse projects making use of this material on our Networks, editors asked for a better way to organize that content. The Resources tab is the fruit of those aims.
We have created more detailed Resource tab pages with descriptions
Dear H-Net Readers:
As our fall appeal comes to a close, all of us at H-Net wish to express our heartfelt thanks to the many readers who have contributed during the past few weeks. Your gifts go directly to our program services, helping us to staff our help desk, make improvements to our web resources, and develop new features that leverage the tremendous talent pool of our hundreds of volunteer editors.
During this year’s fundraising campaign, you have heard from editors and leaders at H-Net about existing and new services that the H-Net Commons makes possible: our new Book Channel, the
The Ghost of H-Net Past
When H-Net began in 1994, email was a rarity, the internet was a collection of text-based gopher files that you could access if you knew the right commands, and scholars in small departments or isolated areas never had the chance to talk with someone else in their field. Into these dark times, H-Net editors took on the challenge to teach their colleagues how to use email. Editors promoted discussions of which archives were the most useful for which subjects. H-Announce soon started to replace physical paper flyers to announce conferences. Isolated scholars learned about
Dear H-Net Readers and Subscribers:
I am Robert Cassanello, Vice President of Research and Publications at H-Net, and I wanted to ask you if you have not already done so to consider donating to H-Net during this campaign drive. I first heard about H-Net back in 1994 during a graduate seminar and immediately joined a couple of burgeoning networks. Throughout this 20+ year relationship with H-Net, I have been fortunate enough to have gained a tremendous amount of professional contacts, development, as well as academic dialog that was unimaginable while I was an undergraduate student in history.

Hello fellow members of the H-Net community.
I'm Daniel Fandino, an elected member of the H-Net Council and an editor for H-PCAACA, H-Digital-History, and the World War I Crossroads network.
H-Net has changed a lot over the last two years, but the new H-Net Commons interface allows us to do so much more than we ever could before. Over at H-PCAACA, we've particularly enjoyed exploring the new blogging platform as a way to publish new thoughts and
These pleas for donations go out to every network on H-Net and I feel a little funny every time I see one appear on a network that has been so quiet for so long. This message in particular is odd as it emphasizes the good work of H-Net editors, then appears on a network that is silent because it has had no editor.
So forget about donating money (unless you really want to) and instead let me use this opportunity to invite you to consider volunteering service to the field instead. H-Survey has powerful capabilities ready to be put to work for the field. Discussions, formal and informal
