On November 22, 2015 H-Net Council passed a resolution to decommission H-Southern-Music. Rather than maintaining several smaller networks focussing on discreet portions of Southern Studies, H-Net Council decided instead to focus efforts on reviving a single and much larger network, H-South. Would be subscribers to this network are encouraged to subscribe instead to H-South.

Questions about this shut down can be sent to Patrick Cox, H-Net Vice-President for Networks, at vp-net@mail.h-net.msu.edu

Support Your Local Editor...

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.

Looking Toward H-Net's Future

Dear H-Net Readers and Subscribers:

Over ten years ago, the H-Net Council passed a Strategic Plan for H-Net that envisioned what became the Commons.  H-Net would “implement an enterprise-wide content management system that encourages information sharing in a protected networked environment monitored by field experts” and “Plan for migration of content delivery technologies to web-based formats for editing, publication, and service.”
