As we welcome Dr. Chattopadhyay, we also extend our sincere gratitude to David Brownlee for his dedication and countless hours of hard work as the journal transitioned to its online, multi-media platform under his leadership. David has provided extraordinary intellectual and managerial guidance for the journal as it entered an exciting new phase. We are enormously grateful for all that he has done to make sure that JSAH remains the leading scholarly journal in the field, and a prime example of excellence in digital humanities publishing.
