In a brief guide published in the summer 1999 edition of Historically Speaking I outlined some of the resources available on the internet for management historians. This is a follow-up to that piece; while it contains some of the sources I included, the list of sites has been revised and updated. In particular, I have not included some publishers’ sites included in the earlier guide; and I have updated all the sections considerably.

As with the earlier guide, I have translated "management history" very broadly, and some of these sites are really concerned with business history, labor history and economic history. Similarly, the resources listed are of mixed quality: nevertheless I hope the list is useful. There is, of course, a considerably wider range of resources available than those shown here. Readers familiar with the nature of the internet will know that addresses of resources change, sometimes frequently. I have done my best to ensure that these addresses are correct at the time of going to press. Address corrections and notification of further sites of interest are very welcome and should be sent to me at charles.booth@uwe.ac.uk.

Finally, I’d like to encourage those readers who haven’t yet joined the Management History email network (or listserve) to do so. The Management History network was established in October 1995 to provide an electronic forum to serve the needs and interests of members of the Management History Division, and of other scholars and practitioners with an interest in management and business history. The network currently has 232 members, from 30 countries. Approximately 70% of members have an academic (.edu, .ac) email address.

The formal purpose of the Management History network is "to support critical and scholarly discussion, reflection and research in the area of management and administrative history; and the development of historically informed analyses and explorations of management practices and of management philosophy and thought". The network is used in a number of ways, including:

• Acting as a forum for scholarly debate and discussion, and for exchanging information about a topic or issue concerning management history
• Acting as a forum for research students and other scholars to raise questions about any relevant topic or issue
• Circulating relevant conference, workshop, or seminar information, or information as to forthcoming books, articles, reports or other publications
• Circulating calls for papers for conferences, seminars or edited books
• Circulating bibliographies and other scholarly documents to subscribers
• Acting as a forum for book and journal reviews

The network is unmoderated and open to self-subscription. The network’s webpage is at: http://www.mailbase.ac.uk/lists/management-history/, where details of how to subscribe may be found. Messages to the network are archived for a period of two years and are available in a fully searchable form at this website. The Management History network plays a valuable role in raising the profile of management history and of the Management History Division in front of a broader audience; in linking members of the division and other interested scholars and practitioners; in strengthening scholarly ties between members of the division; and in disseminating information useful to members of the division and to others in the management history community.
