Perspectives on Empire State History
We are pleased to announce that Penn State History Professor Lori D.
Ginzberg, author of the just published "Untidy Origins: A Story Of Woman's
Rights In Antebellum New York," will deliver the keynote address. While we

diverse history of women in New York State.
The organizers of the 7th Annual Researching New York Conference invite

York State—from settlement to the present. The conference will be held at

Researching New York brings together historians, researchers, archivists,
librarians, graduate students, museum curators, Web site creators,
filmmakers, and documentarians to share their work on New York State
history. As in previous years, the conference will emphasize the integral
relations between researchers and archival resources. Presentations that
highlight the vast resources available to researchers, as well as
scholarship drawn from those resources, are encouraged.
