An international consortium of scholars and teachers, H-Net creates and coordinates Internet networks with the common objective of advancing teaching and research in the arts, humanities, and social sciences. H-Net is committed to pioneering the use of new communication technology to facilitate the free exchange of academic ideas and scholarly resources. Among H-Net's most important activities is its sponsorship of over 100 free electronic, interactive newsletters ("lists") edited by scholars in North America, South America, Europe, Africa, and the Pacific. These lists are compiled and maintained with the goals of enabling scholars to easily communicate current research and teaching interests; discuss new approaches, methods, and tools of analysis; share information on electronic databases; and test new ideas/share comments on the scholarly literature in their fields.
