understanding of the history of the United States Federal Government by
scholars, teachers, researchers, and other interested parties H-FedHist
also supports the exchange of ideas and information between scholars on
related H-Net networks. Finally, H-FedHist disseminates information about
its sponsoring organizaton, the Society for History in the Federal
Government (SHFG), to both SHFG members and non-members.
It is a network developed in conjunction with the SHFG although it is open
for all to join.

The Society for History in the Federal Government (SHFG) was founded in
1979 as a non-profit professional organization to promote study and broad
understanding of the history of the United States Federal Government and
to serve as the voice of the federal historical community. To achieve its
goals, the Society brings together historians, archivists, archaeologists,
curators, librarians, editors, preservationists, students, and others
interested in government history.

Members of the Society for History in the Federal Government participate
in an informal professional network that strengthens common interests and
stimulates discussion of historical subjects and sources. The Society also
serves as a medium through which its members express their common views
and concerns. These broad benefits of membership are reflected in Society
publications, meetings, awards and action committees.

The goals of H-Net lists are to enable scholars to easily communicate
current research and teaching interests; to discuss new approaches,
methods and tools of analysis; to share information on online resources;
and to test new ideas and share comments on the literature in their
fields, and publish quality reviews in many fields and support acadee
through publication of the JobGuide. All network messages are permanently
archived and searchable.

Like all H-Net lists, H-FedHist 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 the evolving, yet common, standards of Internet etiquette.
H-Net's procedure for resolving disputes over list editorial practices is
