About the Economic History Association

Updated on 2009-12-17 16:01

The Economic History Association was founded in 1940. Its purpose is to encourage and promote teaching, research, and publication on every phase of economic history, broadly defined, and to encourage and assist in the preservation and administration of the materials for research in economic history. The Association publishes The Journal of Economic History and a Newsletter, and holds an annual meeting (usually in September). Research is supported through Arthur H. Cole grants-in-aid.

Poster Session

Graduate students will be disseminating preliminary results from their thesis in the poster session. The deadline for applications to the poster session has passed.

Those accepted receive travel and hotel subsidies.

To ease travel complications, we will provide the poster board. We intend to purchase Hunt Sturdy BoardTM QuickStick(c) Foamboard 20" x 30", White, (Office Max Item #11067061). It claims to have "pressure sensitive adhesive." Just in case, we will also bring tacks and tape.
