Dear H-Net Subscriber:

This letter concludes H-NET's Spring Fundraising Drive with my personal
appeal to you to consider making a donation to H-Net,
http://www.h-net.org/donations/

Thus far you may have read appeals written by H-Net officers and
editors, and posted on the various H-Net discussion lists. We have
tried to bring our message to you in the least intrusive way possible,
while at the same time alerting you to our very real financial need.

We are deeply grateful for the donations that thus far have made a
significant contribution to meeting our campaign objectives. We still
need to meet major funding challenges, however, if we are to maintain
and develop the services that so many readers have found essential to
their professional lives.

H-Net began over ten years ago as a handful of discussion groups on
topics related to history. Those present at the beginning knew it was
a good idea, but no one could have imagined how successful it would be.
To date there are over 150 H-Net discussion networks, most of which in
addition to topical email discussions publish a wide range of content
including book reviews, occasional papers, syllabi and important
services such as the H-Net Job Guide and H-Net Announcements. All
H-Net content and services are archived on a vast website,
www.h-net.org, containing nearly one million discrete pages of content.

The scope of our regular service continues to amaze us:

* On average over 300,000 pieces of mail daily.

* H-Net Reviews has published over 10,000 scholarly reviews since 1994.

* The H-Net Job Guide has become one of the most important and widely
distributed job vacancy bulletins in the Humanities and Social Sciences.

* H-Net Announcements annually post thousands of Calls for Papers,
conference announcements and other items of interest to the academic
community.

* Nearly 100,000 subscribers

These services have fundamentally changed the way working academics in
the humanities and social science interact with their
colleagues. H-Net is committed to maintaining free access and open
access to all of these services.

If you have found H-Net services to be of value to you; if you or a
colleague have found a job from the Job Guide, put together a
conference panel through H-Net Announcements, have used an H-Net
discussion list to seek out colleagues of like interests, have enjoyed
the comprehensiveness and convenience of H-Net Reviews, or if you are
just gratified that H-Net helps you "stay in touch" with your field,
we hope you will consider making a donation at:

http://www.h-net.org/donations/

We thank you for your interest, contributions, and support.

This is a one-time-only mailing generated from H-Net's aggregate list
of subscribers. There is no need to unsubscribe.

Sincerely,

Mark
