CALL FOR PAPERS

The 10th annual Researching New York Conference will be held at the
University at Albany on November 20th and 21st, 2008. The Conference
organizers invite proposals for panels, papers, workshops, roundtables,
exhibits, documentary, and media or multi-media presentations on any facet
of New York State history. 

Researching New York brings together historians, researchers, archivists,
public historians, librarians, graduate students, teachers, Web site
creators, filmmakers, and documentarians to share their work on New York
State history. Presentations that highlight the vast resources available to
researchers, as well as scholarship drawn from those resources, are also
sought.

To mark the upcoming 60th anniversary of the establishment of the state
university system, the State University of New York, we especially welcome
proposals that explore any aspect of education in New York State-formal and
informal, in public and private institutions, in the development of public
policy, and in schools and communities throughout the New York State.  We
encourage submissions that explore this long, rich, and diverse history from
any perspective and in any time period.

Proposals are due by JULY 15, 2008. Full panel proposals, workshops,
roundtables, exhibits, film screenings and media presentations are
preferred. 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 clearly state any anticipated technology needs or scheduling
considerations.  Please send your submissions, or any questions to
