       Women and Social Movements in the United States published its first two online document projects in December 1997, work that grew out of courses taught by Kathryn Kish Sklar at SUNY Binghamton. From that modest beginning the website has expanded steadily and now we are pleased to announce that we have become an online journal that will continue to publish document projects on a quarterly basis. We have established an editorial board of respected scholars in U.S. Women's History who will play a major role in the peer review of prospective document projects.

       We invite prospective contributors to the journal to contact us by email to discuss possible document projects. We have prepared a guide for submissions which offers suggestions for developing a document project. If you would be interested in reviewing books for the journal, contact Carol Faulkner; for website reviews contact Melanie Shell-Weiss. For the teaching tools section of the journal, please contact one of the following editors:

       Laura Westhoff, Univ. of Missouri, St. Louis

       Subscriptions to the website and its journal are available for school, academic and public libraries from Alexander Street Press. Rates on a sliding scale reflect the size and budget of the library. Thirty-day free trial subscriptions are available to permit librarians and users to review the website. Also, you can access a brief guided tour for examples of the scope and features of the website.

       We look forward to working with historians of U.S. women in the months ahead. As Women and Social Movements in the United States has expanded in the past seven it has become an increasingly collaborative undertaking. We hope that it will become a valuable venue for the publication of new research and thinking about U.S. Women's History, a resource for the teaching of U.S. Women's History, and a means of integrating women and gender into broader American History narratives. Please share with us your thoughts about the journal issue and join us in this effort.
