H-Net is an interdisciplinary online discussion forum for scholars in the humanities and social sciences that consists of over 180 topic- or discipline-specific listservs. Many of the lists deal with various areas of historical study. Within two years of its founding, H-Net was recognized as being "among the most dynamic and effective contributions" to the internationalization of scholarship.
The H-Net Network has grown until it is now endorsed by many academic professional organizations. For many disciplines and interdisciplinary subject areas the related H-Net listserv is the primary internet forum for scholars. In addition to hosting listservs for specific academic disciplines, H-Net commissions book reviews and posts academic job listings, and according to the organization's website, H-Net lists have over 180,000 subscribers in 90 countries. Individual listservs are moderated by editors selected by H-Net who are typically established scholars within the relevant discipline.
