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. Message logs and more information about H-MARYLAND may be obtained at its website, linked from the H-Net website: http://www.h-net.msu.edu/ ABOUT H-NET H-MARYLAND is owned by H-Net, an international network of scholars in the humanities and social sciences that creates and coordinates electronic networks, using a variety of media, and with a common objective of advancing humanities and social science teaching and research.
