<p>Greetings.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>On July 1, 2015, H-Net Council voted to decommission H-Ohio and its other networks dedicated to the study of the history and culture of Midwestern US states, witgh the consent of the currently editorial and advisory boards of H-Ohio and all the other involved
networks. Council also approved a plan to create a new network, H-Midwest, dedicated to Midwestern Studies. H-Ohio will be decommission until H-Midwest is ready to go, which should be this coming Fall. At that time, subscribers to H-Ohio will receive another
message and will be automatically merged into H-Midwest.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Midwestern Studies is a relatively new and growing field with much infrastructure still to be built. H-Midwest is an exciting opportunity for H-Net and scholars of Midwestern Studies to help build this significant new resource. The full range of H-Net capabilities
will allow H-Midwest to provide a central gathering place for resources, publications, and communication among scholars of Midwestern history, literature, folklore, foodways, geographies, economics, sociology, material culture, political science, and other
disciplines in the dynamic field. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>We are assembling a multi-disciplinary team of editors and contributors to produce a range of online open access publications (including Betsy Hedler who has edited H-Ohio for some time, and the entire H-Ohio advisory board). These will include periodic
roundtable discussions around issues in Midwestern Studies, such as "Why Midwestern Studies?" and "Midwestern Gender." H-Midwest will also host a peer-reviewed, open-access journal for Midwestern Studies. Building from what already exists on H-Net's Midwestern
state networks, H-Midwest will be a clearinghouse for information and resources, including teaching resource centers, news from the many historical societies and archives in the region, and academic announcements. H-Midwest will embrace the diversity of the
Midwest region itself, remembering "the heartland" is not all farms, not all white people, not all frozen, and not all "nice." <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>If you are interested in building the field of Midwestern Studies at H-Midwest as an editor, contributor, peer reviewer, or book reviewer, please contact Patrick Cox, H-Net Vice-President for Networks, at <a href="mailto:vp-net@mail.h-net.msu.edu">vp-net@mail.h-net.msu.edu</a>.
H-Midwest will maintain separate streams of information, so Ohio expertise would be just as valued as more general Midwestern expertise.<o:p></o:p></p>
