The network consists of a core team composed of early career scholars working on baths and who spearhead the project, supervise the development of the website and database, and organise collaboration between its members; an advisory committee of established scholars who have played (and still play) a fundamental role in the development of the field at large; a larger group of members collaborating with and contributing to the project on occasion; and any individual or group working on baths who would like to appear in a repository of baths experts.
