Started in February of 1995, the HES list reached almost 1,000 members. With the support of Avi Cohen, current President of the History of Economics Society, and Maria Cristina Marcuzzo, current President of the European Society for the History of Economic Thought, we have created a new email list called [log in to unmask], where SHOE stands for Societies for the History of Economics.  SHOE is hosted and supported by York University in Toronto, Canada.

The SHOE list is intended for announcements and discussion from anyone around the world interested in the history of economics, as well as all societies devoted to the history of economics.

In addition to the list of subscribers, the entire HES email archive has been moved to York and is now part of the SHOE list.  As messages are posted to the SHOE list, they will be added to the archive.

As a subscriber to the HES list, you are automatically subscribed to the SHOE list.  You can modify your subscription preferences (e.g., digest mode) by visiting

https://listserv.yorku.ca/archives/shoe.html

Should you wish to change your preferences, there are detailed instructions below.

Our goal is a seamless and transparent migration, but we know there are bound to be adjustment problems.

Humberto Barreto will continue as moderator and he would greatly appreciate your patience and support as he learns new software for the list.

Humberto Barreto, Moderator SHOE
Avi Cohen, President HES
Maria Cristina Marcuzzo, President ESHET
