November 15 & 16, 2007 University at Albany, SUNY

The organizers of the 9th Annual Researching New York Conference invite
proposals for papers, panels, workshops, roundtables, exhibits, documentary,
and media or multi-media presentations on any facet of the history of New
York State-from settlement to the present.  Researching New York brings
together historians, researchers, public historians, archivists, museum
curators, librarians, graduate students, teachers, Web site creators,
filmmakers, and documentarians to share their work on New York State
history. The conference will be held at the University at Albany, State
University of New York on November 15th and 16th, 2007.

Full panel proposals, workshops, roundtables, exhibits, and media
presentations are encourages. Partial panels and individual submissions will
be considered. For panels and full proposals, please submit a one-page
abstract of the complete session, a one page abstract for each paper or
presentation, and a one-page curriculum vita for each participant.
Individual submissions should include a one-page abstract and one-page
curriculum vita. All submissions must include name, address, telephone
number, and e-mail address. All proposals must include any anticipated audio
visual needs.

For Researching New York 2007 we especially encourage proposals that explore
the varied and complex role New York State has played in American political
life. From the days of Newcastle's New York, when the colony was at the
center of imperial ambitions to the present when commentators are
forecasting a presidential race in 2008 between two New York politicians,
New York has profoundly influenced American political identity. New York
State and its people have helped set the tone for political leadership and
the development of public policy nationwide. We invite paper and panel
submissions that explore this rich and diverse history from any perspective
and in any period.
