Why Were You Editor for 12 Years

[Introduction:] When I became Executive Editor of Historical Methods in 2001, I had no idea what I was getting \ninto—no mission statement, no set of issues I wanted to feature, no conferences planned, no cache of \npapers I wanted to publish. I inherited a very small backlog of articles, almost no files about previous practices or \nlists of referees, and no advice from previous editors. I had subscribed to the journal from at least its third volume in \n1970, but I admit that I did not always read it. I had published articles in it some years before, but I had not paid very \nmuch attention to the editorial process they went through. I had some experience in correcting and criticizing papers \nand I had refereed a lot of them, mostly for other journals. Fortunately, I inherited Barbara Kahn
