The American Society for Environmental History and the Forest History
Society have entered into an agreement to copublish Environmental History.
Volume 1, number 1 will appear early in 1996. EH replaces EHR and F&CH.
The quarterly is newly designed in 6 x 9 format, and illustrations will be
minimal. With an initial circulation of around 1,800, the journal can be
expected to attract better quality articles, more advertisements, and
library subscriptions.
In accord with the traditions of both organizations, Editor Hal Rothman
will have full independence; the Forest History Society will provide the
managing editor, Alice Poffinberger, and infrastructure. Mark Harvey will
be book review editor.
EH will normally carry four articles and twenty-five book reviews, as soon
as the backlog of longer reviews has been published. Since EHR currently
carries an average of fourteen reviews and F&CH thirteen, the ample review
section in EH will assure good coverage of new literature. EH will also
include the F&CH section on bibliographic and archival news, which will be
expanded as possible to cover the full range of environmental history.
The dues for both organizations have been increased to $35, with a $50
joint membership fee, to provide full funding for EH and a bit left over
to support other ASEH programs. Also, the Forest History Society address
(701 Vickers Avenue, Durham, NC 27701 ) will be the official address for
EH, the place where you will be asked to send your dues. FHS and ASEH,
however, will remain independent organizations, with separate membership
lists, finances, and other functions as at present. Having a
self-supporti ng journal and a permanent address for ASEH are important
developments as the organization evolves.
If you have further questions, please contact H. K. Steen, FHS executive
director, or Susan Flader, president ASEH. ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
