On July 1, 2015, H-Net Council voted to decommission H-Illinois and several other networks dedicated to the study of the history and culture of Midwestern US states. Council also approved a plan to create a new network, H-Midwest, dedicated to Midwestern Studies. Folks interested in Illinois History and Culture are encouraged to subscribe to H-Midwest.
Questions can be sent to Patrick Cox, H-Net Vice-President for Networks, at vp-net@mail.h-net.msu.edu.
It's taken a bit of time, but H-Net's new network dedicated to the study of the Midwest is now up and running. Subscribers to H-Illinois have all been automatically subscribed to H-Midwest. It opens with a roundtable on a fitting topic: "Why Midwestern Studies?"
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.
The Ghost of H-Net Past
Dear H-Net Readers and Subscribers:
Dear H-Net subscribers and readers,
H-Net is uniquely poised in the online academic world in a way that other sites and outlets simply can't match. It isn't just H-Net's new publishing platform that makes that the case. In the past two years 280 new editors have joined H-Net. That's 280 scholars, researchers,
and teachers who have seen the potential of the H-Net Commons, gotten involved to help develop it, and are providing service to their fields by building resources and developing meaningful content with and for their peers.
