Conferences in the Upcoming Fortnight

In the next two weeks, I plan to attend three different history conferences in Massachusetts.

• The Omohundro Institute of Early American History and Culture, publisher of the William & Mary Quarterly, is having its annual meeting at Suffolk University in Boston on 6-8 June.
• The Mass History conference on “Sustaining the Future of Massachusetts History” will take place at on 9 June at Holy Cross College in Worcester. It’s co-sponsored by Mass Humanities, the University of Massachusetts Amherst Program in Public History, and the Massachusetts Historical Society.
• This year’s Dublin Seminar, with a focus on “New England and the Caribbean,” will convene at the White Church in Deerfield on 14-16 June.

If I can make the technology work, I might try some version of live-blogging from those venues. But I’ll be lucky if I manage to keep my name tag the right way up.

Looking ahead, the New England Historical Association has issued a call for papers on any historical topic for its meeting at Endicott College in Beverly on 25 Oct 2008. The deadline is 15 June.

As a result, I might well post fewer original words here for a while, and more links to other places.

If you’re at any of those events, please say hello. I’ll be the one wearing the name tag that reads, “NHOf W,I ¡IH”.
