Call for Editors, H-US1918-45
H-US1918-45 seeks to build a team of volunteers to serve as editors and review editors for the network. Editors will be trained to use the H-Net Commons, our new content management platform, to moderate discussions, build content-rich projects for teaching and scholarship in the field of mid-20th century American history (roughly 1918-45), and collaborate in the management of the network.
Welcome to the New Network
