 The New York Council for the Humanities is pleased to announce the creation of HumList, an on-line forum for sharing information among the many humanities-based institutions in New York State. HumList is a free, subscription-only listserv for information and professional discussion among the presenters of public cultural programs statewide. Because it is a private list, only members may view posted messages and post new messages. Applications for membership are vetted by Council staff. Applicants must indicate their affiliation with a tax-exempt organization in New York State.
Why HumList?
No one wants to work in a vacuum - but that is just the feeling project directors often describe when they are planning a lecture series, or an exhibition, looking for project scholars, or trying to reach new audiences. HumList is meant to provide a forum for sharing best practices, allowing you direct access to those who are dealing with many of the same problems you are. It also carries updates from the New York Council for the Humanities.
Who should join HumList?
Anyone working directly with the creation of public programs, particularly but not exclusively in the humanities, could benefit from participating in HumList. HumList subscribers are those willing to share their experience and those who can best benefit from that experience. For example, many members will be current or former project directors of Council-funded projects. It is not intended for development, grant writing, or employment issues, but rather as a forum for information-sharing on planning and implementing projects. Each organization participating in the list should choose carefully up to two staff members most appropriate for discussing public programs and humanities issues on HumList. Organizations wishing to subscribe more than two members should include a brief justification or explanation in their request.
