These are all LISTSERV mailing lists. You can attempt to get
information by sending a message addressed to:
LISTSERV@<HOST SERVER ADDRESS>
...and typing in the Body of your message:
INFO <Listname>
Example:
TO: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
BODY: INFO H-ASIA
LISTSERV's do not always have good info files. I often think Majordomo
owners do a better job of providing non-subscribers info about the
lists. However, for LISTSERV's, one could try and find information
about the list at the Catalist site:
http://www.lsoft.com/lists/listref.html
For example, I find the H-ASIA page here:
http://www.lsoft.com/scripts/wl.exe?SL1=H-ASIA&H=H-NET.MSU.EDU
It says that for more information, we could look at the list
configuration:

entered into your browser's address box as one line.
Unfortunately, as I alluded, this LISTSERV list gives very little
information. All it says is "H-Net list for Asian History and Culture"
The other two lists might give you more information.
