ABOUT H-US1918-45 
 
H-US1918-45, The New Deal era and its Origins, provides a forum  
for research and teaching the history of the United States, from  
1918 to 1945. The primary purpose of H-US1918-45 is to  
encourage lively and professional discussion of this important  
period in history. We are not exclusively an academic list. We also  
invite the participation of K-12 teachers, public historians, historic  
preservationists and public policy makers. Our discussions can  
include any of the following topics: current research and research  
interests; methods and tools of analysis; reviews of primary and  
secondary sources; calls for papers, conferences, grants,  
fellowships.   
 
Through its association with the New Deal Network  
(http://newdeal.feri.org), H-US1918-45 supports the development of  
online resources for scholars and the general public.   
 
H-US1918-45 is free and open to anyone with a serious and abiding  
interest in the subject.  Like all H-Net lists, H-US1918-45 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.
