German-American studies would be served well by having a list similar to the one described below. Consult the H-Net Web page and the H-ItAm Web Site to view the possibilities. There is also a general H-Net historians' email listserv that might be of interest.

The necessary elements for a successful discussion list are a sponsor, server space, moderator(s) and an interested core of list members. Email is distributed automatically to subscribers' mailboxes. Members are free to respond to one another's postings, submit information of interest and make requests for info.

ANNOUNCING H-ItAm H-NET LIST ON American-Italian History and Culture
Sponsored by H-Net: Humanities On-Line and The American Italian Historical Association

H-ItAm is a moderated internet discussion forum for scholars and activists relating to the Italian American Experience, and more generally, the ethnic culture of the Italian diaspora worldwide. Membership is free and open to scholars and teachers in all disciplines, to journalists and researchers. Undergraduates may join if they have a letter of recommendation from their professor. H-ItAm is involved in promoting the study, appreciation, and advancement of Italian American culture at all levels. The language of the list is mainly English, but messages, notices, and other postings in translated and untranslated Italian will appear from time to time.

Logs and more information about H-ItAm can also be found at the H-ItAm Web Site

H-Net is an international network of scholars in the humanities and social sciences that creates and coordinates electronic networks, using a variety of media, and with a common objective of advancing humanities and social science teaching and research. H-Net was created to provide a positive, supportive, equalitarian environment for the friendly exchange of ideas and scholarly resources, and is hosted by Michigan State University. For more information about H-Net, write to H-Net@H-net.msu.edu, or point your web browser to the H-Net Web page.

Like all H-Net lists, H-ItAm is moderated by the editors to filter out inappropriate posts.
