Abstract  Herbig Ae/Be stars are not known to exhibit water maser emission very frequently, but some Herbig Ae/Be stars do exhibit maser emission. Because many other sources have associated water masers, research on Herbig Ae/Be masers has been limited. I present early results from a VLA/VLBA observation campaign to map the water masers near these interesting, sometimes variable, stars.
