Dear H-Net Readers:

I am writing to express the deep appreciation of H-Net's editors and
staff for the generosity displayed by so many of you in response to our
recent appeal for support. The funds you provide go directly to
maintain our operations and to keep our service free and open.

These occasions also bring in heartening testimony from readers that the
efforts of our hard-working editors and staff really pay off for
scholars, teachers, and students:

"This is an important service to the scholarly community, in fact it is
an important scholarly community, and we can't assume it'll all be here
for free...It has shown itself to be a serious, scholarly resource and
relies to an extraordinary degree on volunteer labor. We should support it."

"The economic downturn further highlights the importance of H-Net as a
means for connecting researchers and teachers in the humanities and
social sciences. I continue to rely on H-Net as my primary source of
information linking me to colleagues and significant information."

"The generosity of this community of scholars constantly overwhelms me."

If you have not yet had an opportunity to join your fellow readers in
making a tax-deductible contribution, please consider doing so at

A contribution from each of our subscribers would fund H-Net's lists,
announcements, and reviews services for years to come.

Gratefully,

Peter
