H-SAfrica is an electronic discussion group dedicated to the promotion of all aspects of South African history. H-SAfrica can be described as a cross between an academic journal and a friendly academic newspaper that is delivered to your electronic mailbox on an almost daily basis. It will provide all sorts of useful information, like international job adverts, book reviews, conference announcements and calls for papers. Subscribers will be notified at times of new computer software, websites, films and videos. At the same time, however, it is hoped that subscribers with an interest in South African history will join with in mature discussions of ongoing research, of articles and academic papers, books and journals, methods of teaching and debates on historiography. H-SAfrica is moderated by the editors to filter out inappropriate posts.
