CALL FOR PAPERS

Individual paper abstracts, panel proposals, workshops, and other program suggestions are now invited for the 2003 conference to be held in the Hudson Valley at a site to be announced. Presentations may consider any aspect of the history of New York over the past 400 years. Diverse theoretical perspectives and innovative methodological approaches are welcomed. The deadline for proposals is January 25, 2003, postmarked.

The Conference on New York State History is an annual meeting of academic and public historians, educators, publishers, and general students of history 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. Ten presentation sessions, workshops, and a keynote address permit more than fifty individuals to take part in the formal program. Special consideration is accorded first-time presenters, graduate students, and local government historians. The conference is self-sustaining and is organized by a Steering Committee of historians from a variety of institutions across the state.

Interested parties are encouraged to discuss proposals and any conference-related ideas with Field Horne, the conference coordinator. The Program Committee will meet to consider proposals and applicants will be notified by March 1, 2003.

All proposals must be received by January 30, 2003. A proposal should be a one-page description of each presentation - rather than the entire paper manuscript. A proposal must include paper and/or session titles, names, phone numbers, and E-mail addresses of all participants. It should also discuss sources, methodology, and argument, briefly, and any special scheduling or equipment requests. All program participants are required to register for the conference.

Send proposals to Field Horne, Conference on New York State History, Box 215, Saratoga Springs, N.Y. 12866-0215, or E-mail to [log in to unmask]
