Notes and Queries
Ohio History is pleased to announce the reestablishment of an
editorial
advisory board. Listed on the inside
front cover of the journal are the names
of twelve distinguished historians,
representing a wide variety of interests
and perspectives, who have agreed to
serve for an initial two-year term. Work-
ing closely with the editor, these
scholars will review many of the manu-
scripts submitted to the journal,
suggest books for review, and perhaps most
importantly, provide Ohio History with
general guidance to assure the con-
tinued vitality and high scholarly
standards of the quarterly. Over the
years we expect membership on the
editorial advisory board to rotate so that
Ohio History will enjoy the benefits of a continuous stream of fresh
ideas and
new points of view from the large number
of distinguished scholars inter-
ested in Ohio and the Old Northwest.
