Researching New York: A Conference on New York State History

November 15-17 2018
University at Albany
Albany, New York





Reminder: All of New York!
Deadline for Proposals Extended to August 5, 2018



Call for Proposals

Celebrate New York History Month at Researching New York this November! This annual conference brings together a broad community of historians, archivists, public historians, graduate students, museum curators, teachers, documentarians, and more to share their work on New York State history.

Conference organizers invite proposals from any time period and any methodological perspective on all aspects of New York State' rich history. We seek submissions for workshops, roundtables, panels, and individual papers from scholars, public historians, educators, archivists, librarians, media makers, and others engaged in the study, teaching, and dissemination of New York State History. Work that addresses practical and theoretical issues surrounding the interpretation, preservation, commemoration, and public presentation of New York State history is encouraged.

ALL OF NEW YORK!  Many of you have asked whether there is a specific conference focus or theme this year--there is not. For 2018 we encourage everyone to consider the vast history of New York -- and the many ways to tell the stories of New York as we hope to do as well. We'll have more on that, along with registration information in September.
DEADLINE EXTENDED! Proposals are NOW due August 5, 2018. Complete panels, workshops, media presentations, or full sessions are preferred; partial panels and individual submissions will be considered whenever possible. For panel, roundtable, or workshop proposals, please submit a one-page summary of your session, including a brief abstract, and one-page curriculum vita for each panel participant. Individual submissions should include a one-page abstract and one-page vita. For vitas greater than one page, only the first page will be reviewed. Submissions must include name, address, and e-mail address. All proposals should include any anticipated audiovisual needs and note any possible time constraints. When possible, scheduling accommodations will be made, but cannot be guaranteed. Please submit your proposal as an attachment, in a single document, to [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>.

We also seek commentators for panels. Please indicate your interest by contacting us at [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>, noting your area of expertise, along with a one-page vita.

Researching New York is sponsored by the University at Albany Department of History & History Graduate Student Assn., University at Albany M.E. Grenander Special Collections & Archives, and the New York State Archives Partnership Trust with additional support from the New York State Museum.
