As you may know, the History News Service is an informal syndicate of
professional historians who write op-ed essays that contextualize
current events in historical terms. Those pieces that HNS distributes
to over 300 daily and other newspapers and news syndicates in North
America cover many subjects of topical interest. Yet one of the large,
general areas in which HNS receives almost no submissions from
historians is that of science, technology, and medicine. Newspaper
articles dealing with science, technology, and medicine appear on front
pages almost every day, yet HNS distributes no op-eds dealing with them.

As co-directors of HNS, we are appealing to members of this H-Net
listserv to consider submitting to us op-ed essays for our
consideration. Full information about HNS--its aims and its procedures
and useful guidelines for writing op-eds that draw their arguments from
historical knowledge--can be found at www.h-net.org/~hns/. We very much
hope that you on this list-serv will be in touch with us with any ideas
you may have for opeds essays that meet HNS criteria.
