ABOUT

The H-Net Network on Material Culture and Vernacular Landscapes and Artifact
Preservation will promote and support the study of buildings, sites,
structures, objects, landscapes and other material cultural productions as
part of the visual record of life and work, particularly in the Americas.

The Pioneer America Society and the Association for Preservation of
Artifacts and Landscapes http://www.pioneeramerica.org/ is the
sponsor of
the Network. Society members represent a range of academic
disciplines—including history, geography, landscape architecture, American
Studies and folklore—as well as preservation and cultural resources
professionals and interested laypersons. The fabric of our membership is
representative of the interdisciplinary nature of material culture studies.
Presently, there is no network devoted exclusively to material culture. Our
network will fill that gap and will provide a space for consistent and
timely communication about ideas and resources relevant to material culture
scholars, professionals and enthusiasts.

Like all H-Net lists, H-Material-Culture is moderated to edit out material
that, in the editors' opinion, is not germane to the list, involves
technical matters (such as subscription management requests), is
inflammatory, or violates evolving, yet common, standards of Internet
etiquette. H-Net's procedure for resolving disputes over list editorial
practices is Article II, Section 2.20 of our bylaws, located at:

http://www.h-net.org/about/by-laws.php

H-Material-Culture is currently edited by Artimus Keiffer, Pioneer America
Society: Association for the Preservation of Artifacts and Landscapes.
