What is the Conference?
The Conference on New York State History is an annual meeting of
academic and public historians, librarians and archivists, educators,
publishers, and other interested individuals who come together to
discuss topics and issues related to the people of New York State in
historical perspective and to share information and ideas regarding
historical research, programming, and the networking of resources and
services.

Presentation formats may include:
● Presentation sessions (Chair and 3 presenters; 75 minutes)
● Panel/Roundtable discussion sessions (Chair/Moderator and 3-4
panelists; 75 minutes)
● Workshops and practical sessions (workshops 3-5 hours; practical
sessions 75 minutes)
● Individual presentations (25 minutes)

Preference will be given to full session proposals. We encourage
presenters to take a dynamic approach, including the use of visual and
audio aids, audience participation, and discussions, rather than solely
reading a paper.
