The Global Anabaptist Mennonite Encyclopedia Online (GAMEO) is an online encyclopedia of topics relating to Mennonites and Anabaptism. The mission of the project is to provide free, reliable, English-language information on Anabaptist-related topics.
Starting as a database of Anabaptist groups in Canada, GAMEO secured rights to copy and update the Mennonite Encyclopedia published by Herald Press in the 1950s and 1990. A project goal was to have the entire contents of the Mennonite Encyclopedia, including the supplement volume published in 1990, available on the web. This was accomplished by February 2009, at which time the encyclopedia contained more than 14,000 articles.[3][4] Articles are either adapted from other scholarly works or assigned to knowledgeable authors and then undergo editorial review before publication to the website.[2]
Sam SteinerofWaterloo, Ontario, served as managing editor from the encyclopedia's inception until 2012. Richard D. Thiessen of Abbotsford, British Columbia, was managing editor from 2012 to May 2017.[5]John D. Roth of Goshen College, Goshen, Indiana, was appointed General Editor in May, 2017.[2]
