Notes from the Field is a new section that will appear regularly in The Historian. Historians will be invited to contribute short “notes” discussing what they are currently working on and thinking about, whether in their research, their teaching, their public history projects, or their administrative positions. We hope that this will help foster collegial recognition across the discipline's many fields and institutional divisions
