With this issue, we say goodbye to coeditor Kym Rice of George Washington University. After fourteen issues, Kym is stepping down as contributing editor. Her efforts over the years significantly helped expand the depth and reach of the "Exhibition Reviews" section. We thank her so much for her creative and dedicated contributions to these pages.
In Kym's place, we welcome Brian Horrigan, exhibit developer at the Minnesota Historical Society. Brian brings to the Journal a wealth of experience, a keen critical eye, and a deft touch with prose.
We would like to thank the American Association for State and Local History for providing information on the work of its members.
