H-Net

The second, uh, Derek O'Leary's book is fabulous.

Um, I just did a review actually on it, uh, for H-Net.

Um, and, um, he's, he looks at archival communities, and it's just a fabulous work as well.

And I'm looking forward to read the other, the ones that are coming down the pike here.

That's where it gets good.

H-Net is a scholarly consortium in the humanities sponsored by the National Endowment for the Humanities and Michigan State.

HMMedia is open to scholars, graduate students, teachers, media specialists, librarians, and software developers.

There's a user description of it I keep thinking about, not a firehose of comments and spam, but a well-regulated stream of good content.

It's a five thousand person world, roughly.

Shakespeare scholars have run an edited list for thirty-six years without a full-time editor.

H-Net manages it with volunteer editors across dozens of lists.

The minimum of management model from WRYTL is the actual precedent.
