Introduction
H-SAWH is an international electronic discussion group for
scholars and teachers interested in the history of women and
gender in the southern U.S. This list is intended to provide
historians and others interested in the field a forum to discuss
new (and old) theories, methods, and findings. We anticipate that
discussions and announcements of a more general nature will also
provide opportunities for comparative perspectives on
contemporary issues in light of historical experiences.
H-SAWH is one of the networks of H-Net and Michigan State University, made possible with additional funding from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the American Council of Learned Societies. H-Net is a broad initiative to establish electronic communications among historians and to educate historians and other scholars in the use of electronic media. H-Net has been endorsed by the American Historical Association, the Organization of American Historians and the Southern Historical Association.
Purpose
The primary purpose of H-SAWH is to enable historians and other
population scholars to easily communicate current research and
teaching interests; to discuss new articles, books, papers,
approaches, methods and tools of analysis; to test new ideas and
share comments and tips on teaching. Relevant extracts from the H-Net Job Guide will be
posted, as will fellowship announcements, etc. Organizers of
pertinent conferences and symposia are encouraged to post calls
for papers and program contents. H-SAWH will attempt to stimulate
dialogues on teaching historical demography through publication
of course syllabi and reading lists, course handouts,
bibliographies or guides to term papers. H-SAWH is also part of
the H-Net Review Project. The H-SAWH review editor is Antonette
van Zelm avanzelm@mtsu.edu
Subscriptions
Subscriptions to H-SAWH are free. However, all applicants are
asked to return a short form (copy at end of this welcome

List
Subscribers are encouraged to send materials for the H-SAWH list
relating to any of the above topics. Also they may wish to send
specific queries. To send material for posting on H-SAWH, email

h-sawh@h-net.msu.edu
H-SAWH is a moderated list. Your postings will be collected by one of the editors and posted to the list generally on a daily basis. This process filters extraneous materials (such as subscription requests) and/or posts which are irrelevant or inappropriate to H-SAWH. No editing of posts will normally be done except as follows or to add name/address headers or subject lines if needed. Lengthy documents over approximately 100 lines should be prefaced with a short abstract (about 10 lines). Long postings frequently use up subscribers' available disk space and are time-consuming to page through. Therefore the editors, at the request of the posting party or at their own discretion, may archive the full text on the H-SAWH listserv, posting only the abstract and providing subscribers with instructions on how to access the full text electronically using the GET command.
H-Net respects the copyrights of authors whose material is posted on its lists and/or stored in its logs, fileservers, and gopher. Authors who post items to H-Net lists convey to H-Net only the right to reproduce electronically their work on H-Net lists and in H-Net files. H-Net owns the name of each subject-area list, its roster of subscribers, its on-line files, and related files. H-Net's assertion of ownership is meant only to protect the rights of H-Net and shall not infringe on the copyrights of authors regarding any files or documents they may have made available to H-Net.
