ECONOMIC HISTORY ASSOCIATION
SEPTEMBER 7-9, 2007
AUSTIN, TEXAS

The 67th Annual Meeting of the Economic History Association will be 
held in Austin, Texas from September 7-9, 2007. The theme chosen by 
President Paul Hohenberg for the meeting is

SPACE AND PLACE IN ECONOMIC HISTORY

The program is packed with twelve paper sessions, six dissertation 
finalists and nine graduate student posters! There are two special 
plenary sessions, one on Friday afternoon and the other on Saturday 
afternoon - including presentations by Michael Bernstein and 
Christina Romer on "What Remains After Fifty Years: A Look Back at 
Economic Domestic Policy in the Decade after Sputnik" and Brad deLong 
and Dick Easterlin on "What Remains After Fifty Years: The Role of 
Economic History as a Guide to Economic Development." You won't want 
to miss this meeting!

Register today online at www.ehameeting.com  -  the deadline for 
pre-registration is Friday, August 17th. After this date you will 
have to register onsite and pay an additional $25!!!  There is plenty 
to do if you arrive early, on Friday morning there is a local tour of 
the State Capitol as well as two workshops. Thomson Gale Publishers 
will be illustrating the many ways to use their new digital archive 
entitled "Making of the Modern World." Steven Nafziger, Leah Platt 
Boustan and Jason Long will share their wisdom on how to survive the 
Job Market and end up employed!

Make your room reservations at the Sheraton Austin Hotel in downtown 
Austin, across from the Capitol. You can reserve your room by calling 
(512) 478-1111 or by going to the hotel page of the online 
registration.  Be sure to mention that you are with the EHA 
Conference to get the $145/night group rate! The deadline for getting 
a room at this rate (and maybe for getting any room at all) is 
Thursday, August 16th. Don't delay this year because hotel space will 
be very tight due to a University of Texas home football game that 
same weekend!
