I, too, would like to express my gratitude to Anita for keeping HISTARCH alive these many years. Although many have migrated to professional "social media" sites, I much prefer this venue.
For anyone doing bottle research, the Bottle Research Group is almost finished with the "K" section of our Encyclopedia of Manufacturer's Marks on Glass Containers. We are hosted by Bill Lindsey's Historical Bottle Webpage at the SHA website. All is free.

Lets all support Anita and hope for a new home for HISTARCH. A few years back the SHA honored Anita with an SHA Award of Merit for her major contribution to our field in creating the HISTARCH list and running it for years. Hopefully she and the list will be here for another twenty five years.

Hi All,
Earlier this week, there was a disruption in HISTARCH emails. Most people may not have noticed.
Anita Cohen-Williams set up HISTARCH about 25 years ago. For all those years she has quietly moderated and administered the email list. We are all deeply indebted to her for her service.
All those years ago, Anita set up the list at Arizona State University. Earlier this week, after an administrative change, the ASU systems administrators deleted the list and its archive. There was no faculty or staff member that "owned" the list.
After some initial panic, two ASU faculty stepped in to help resolve the problem. We are indebted to Drs. Peeples and Barton for their help. The list was subsequently restored.
Anita is working to migrate the list membership and archive to a new host, which will hopefully last for another 25 years and last as a permanent archive.
Please be on the lookout for posts from Anita over the next thirty days. Hopefully this will all be seamless, but keep your eyes open!
I wish to offer my personal thanks to Anita. HISTARCH has been a fundamental communication venue over my entire professional career.
Best,
Tim
