ANNOUNCING H-Maryland
H-NET LIST ON Maryland History and Culture
Sponsored by
H-Net, Humanities & Social Sciences On-line, Michigan State University

H-Maryland, a refereed, interdisciplinary discussion list, provides a
means of communication for those persons who research, write, read,
teach, and preserve Maryland history and culture and for those who work
in cultural institutions located within Maryland, regardless of
discipline. H-Maryland will post reviews of books, exhibits,
audio-visual materials, and electronic presentations. H-Maryland seeks
to share helpful information on and ideas about Maryland, including
issues relating to cultural-resource management, funding and
legislative efforts that affect the maintenance of the state's historic
legacy.

H-Maryland serves as a forum for serious discussion; a bulletin board
for news of newly opened collections, upcoming conferences, exhibits,
public programs, etc.; and as a cabinet for the storage and retrieval
of materials (syllabi, reading lists, helpful hints) useful in
classroom teaching at every level.

H-Maryland invites the participation of everyone--whether professional,
para-professional, or volunteer--who cares deeply about the legacy of
Maryland's past. This list includes (without being limited to)
academics, archivists, curators, folklorists, independent scholars,
preservationists, librarians, museum docents, public historians,
writers, and students.

The H-MARYLAND list is co-edited by Dr. Mary Elizabeth Corrigan,
University of Maryland at Baltimore; Mary K. Mannix, Frederick County
Public Libraries, [log in to unmask]; and Matthew A. White,
B&O; Railroad Museum, [log in to unmask] The editors serve two-year
renewable terms, with the approval of the H-Net Executive Committee and
rotate their duties. The current editor will be identified in all
messages coming from the list. The editors will solicit postings (by
email, phone and even by regular mail), will assist people in managing
subscriptions and setting up options, will handle routine inquiries,
and will consolidate some postings. Anyone with suggestions about what
H-MARYLAND can and might do is invited to send in ideas. The editors
will solicit and post newsletter-type information (calls for
conferences, for example, or listings of sessions at conventions.) They
will also commission book and article reviews, and post book
announcements from publishers. H-MARYLAND will be moderated to filter
out extraneous messages (like requests for subscription) and items that
do not belong on H-MARYLAND. They may belong somewhere else, or in the
judgment of the editors they do not aid the scholarly dialogue. The
editors will not alter the meaning of messages without the author's
permission.

H-MARYLAND is free and open to anyone with a serious and abiding
interest in the subject. It is advised by a board of field experts.
