This page provides additional information about how to become an editor or advisory board member at an H-Net network and catalogs the recruitment programs and calls of H-Net’s nearly 200 topically-defined networks.
The editorial teams of these networks are the authorities over the application process, so please make sure to read their recruitment messages carefully. When a network’s current editorial team decides to bring on a new member, that member must go through a nomination, application, and certification process governed by H-Net’s Bylaws and Executive Council Policies. A network’s current editors and board members must nominate the individual and the candidate must fill out an application (see the blue buttons immediately below). All nominations are subject to review by H-Net’s Executive Council. If Council approves a nomination, the individual must then complete a brief, free online training program. Once trained, the new editor will join the network’s editorial team. H-Net recommends a two-year term for appointments and requires a six-week probationary period. Many editors and board members elect to serve for longer periods.
Overview of the Application Process
Contact the Associate Director of Networks or the Associate Director of Reviews at any point during the process with your questions |
If you do not have a specific network that you are interested in, or do not have success reaching out to one, you should also feel invited to complete this webform to introduce yourself to our broader editorial community. It will ask you to provide contact information and then describe your general areas of interest, academic background, and mention any project ideas you had.
The following networks maintain webpages outlining their recruitment interests and policies. Networks may add recruitment pages to this table by applying the category “H-Net Network Recruitment Call” to the page.
Dear Subscribers,
H-Net is built around volunteerism from the executive council all the way to your network editors. Without volunteers, H-Net cannot function and not deliver the high-quality material you are used to and enjoy reading. We need you!
The current editors of H-Minerva are seeking new editors to join our team! The network is looking for two or three editors to take on duties and responsibilities on a voluntary basis. Editors mainly moderate discussion posts and general announcements.
We also hope that by expanding our editorial team, editors will be able to develop new content based on their interests, such as blogs, pulling together syllabi and other Teaching and Research Resources, as well as cross-network projects. This type of content makes a network vibrant – and is easier to do the more editors we have!
Book reviews are an integral part of the agenda on all H-Net networks and have been a very important part of H-Asia.
To continue this, H-Asia wants to grow the team of review editors - so we are looking for YOU!
Dear Subscribers,

It is also available on our main menu, where it will permanently reside. It describes the benefits of volunteering with us, our recruitment policies, and some projects that we hope to develop. We will update this page periodically with additional projects and positions. Enjoy!
