We are the first peer-reviewed electronic journal that presents, evaluates, and disseminates multimedia scholarship. This free online journal can be found at the following Web site: http://www.albany.edu/jmmh This exciting journal offers a new vision for presenting historical research. Adhering to the highest research standards and utilizing the most innovative multimedia technologies, The Journal for MultiMedia History (JMMH) combines audio, visual, and hyperlinked materials with thoughtful historical analysis. By exploiting the almost magical potential of digital code, authors can explore and present a range of scholarly source materials impossible to incorporate into traditional texts. The journal also provides in-depth reviews, including audio and visual clips and links, of multimedia resources such as CD-ROMs, videos, and Web sites. The first issue includes exciting pieces by accomplished scholars. One item centers on a radio interview conducted in 1960 with the Nation of Islam's Elijah Muhammad, accompanied by an analysis by his biographer, Claude A. Clegg III. This issue also contains the audio and text of a lecture by Professor Kathy Peiss that focused on her new book about American women and the making of the modern consumer culture. Tom Kriger explores a labor strike in New York that took place during the Great Depression. He uses a dazzling array of photographs and oral history interviews. Adrienne Hood and Jacqueline Spafford make judicious use of hypertext to demonstrate the promise and perils of integrating Web construction projects, and Corrine Blake offers a comprehensive hypertext review of Web-based resources for students and scholars of Islam and Islamic Civilization. We are privileged to have a distinguished editorial board that includes Steven Brier, co-founder of the American Social History Project (ASHP), City University of New York (CUNY), currently assistant provost for Technology and Instructional Media at the Graduate School and University Center, CUNY; Joshua Brown, creative director of the ASHP and acting director of the ASHP/Center for Media and Learning, City University of New York; Mark Kornbluh, director of H-NET, Michigan State University; Carolyn Lougee, chair, Stanford University History Department; Roy Rosenzweig, head of the Center for New Media at George Mason University; and Richard Hamm, University at Albany, State University of New York; and the founding editors,Gerald Zahavi and Julian Zelizer of the University at Albany.
