ROBERT DALLEK

"HNN is an excellent source of infomation for all historians. Congratulations on nine years of fine work in keeping us informed about the latest in historical scholarship."

ERIC FONER

"I am delighted each time I receive the latest edition of History News Network—it makes it possible to keep up on new books, new controversies, and most importantly, the numerous ways history intersects with public life nowadays, here and abroad."

STANLEY K. KATZ

"I am very grateful to HNN for keeping me up with what is going on in the history field generally, but especially for the chance to read short essays on current topics that would not otherwise find a home..."

ELAINE TYLER MAY

"Congratulations to HNN on its ninth anniversary, for keeping historians informed and connected to contemporary events and issues."

BARBARA D. METCALF

"Too often the past is invoked in misleading ways, with current concerns projected into the past, myths mistaken for fact, and historical arguments asserted in contexts where they don't belong. Congratulations to the History News Network for what it has done over these past nine years to bring a historical perspective into public life and debate—may HNN flourish!"

DANIEL PIPES

"History offers the best preparation for learning the day’s news.  By emphasizing this important function, the History News Network helps all its readers, including myself, understand the world around them."

GIL TROY

"HNN's greatest contribution has been in forging a sense of community among historians.  It is very easy to feel isolated as an academic.  HNN helps us as historians feel like we are part of a broader conversation—and provides a regular reminder to all of us of our mission as historians to help elevate the national conversation by rooting it in a deep understanding of our past.  Congratulations on nine great, illuminating, enlightening, and inspiring years."

JEFFREY WASSERSTROM

"The History News Network has become an invaluable resource for me as a reader and a wonderful outlet for me as a writer.  It has also been an inspiration to all of us who have followed its lead by launching other kinds of online ventures that try to explore the borderland between the world of the academic and the terrain of serious journalism."

JON WIENER

"Over the last nine years, History News Network has become both indispensable and irresistible.  It's hard to imagine the history profession now without it."

GORDON S. WOOD

"HNN has made a remarkable contribution to history education over the past nine years.  May it continue to grow and thrive."

JULIAN E. ZELIZER

"The History News Network has been a wonderful and important addition to the historical community.  This web page has brought together commentary, reporting, and announcements into an accessible and interesting site.  Historians, journalists and many different kinds of scholars now turn to this page to get a sense of what historians have to say about issues that are in the news.  This is a model for how the academy can use the Internet to reach broader audiences and create ongoing discussions that would be impossible without technology."
