H-Urban on [email protected] Urban History
or LISTSERV@xxxxxxxxxxxxx

A new group, H-Urban (URBAN HISTORY) has been set up at the
University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) in order to provide a forum
for scholars of urban history. The UIC history department has a
long-standing interest in the history of Chicago and other U.S.
cities, ethnicity and immigration, and of European and Russian urban
development.

The primary purpose of H-Urban is to enable urban historians to
easily communicate current research and research interests; to
discuss new approaches, methods and tools of analysis; to share
reviews of useful resources including monographs, journals, articles,
and primary source materials such as papers, maps, records, and
databases; and to announce calls for papers, conferences, museum and
society shows, exhibitions, job opportunities, grants and
fellowships.

H-Urban is also a forum for exploring the approaches, methods and
tools used in teaching history to graduate and undergraduate
students. As described below, UIC is establishing an electronic
archive easily accessible to historians. Syllabi, reading lists, and
examinations would all be valuable additions to the archive.

Discussion of cities throughout human history, and in all geographic
areas is welcome.

To subscribe to H-Urban, send a note to Listserv@UICVM or
Listserv@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the following command in the BODY:
