REMINDER: Call for Papers

2009 Economic and Business Historical Society Conference, Grand Rapids 
Michigan, April 23 - 25

The Economic & Business Historical Society welcomes proposals for 
presentations on all aspects of business and economic history at its 
33rd annual conference at Grand Rapids, Michigan April 23-25, 2009. 
Composed of numerous North American and international members, the 
Economic & Business Historical Society offers its members and conference 
participants an opportunity for intellectual interchange within a 
collegial interdisciplinary group.  The Society holds its annual 
convention in locations of historical significance.  Both the annual 
membership ($30) and conference registration fees are modest.  Papers 
presented at the conference may be submitted for publication in the 
Society's peer reviewed journal, Essays in Economic and Business 
History, edited by Lynne Pierson Doti, Chapman University.

The Society seeks proposals for both individual papers and panel 
sessions. Proposals for individual papers should include an abstract of 
no more than 500 words, a brief CV, postal and email addresses, and 
telephone and fax numbers. Panel proposals should also suggest a title 
and a panel chair. Graduate students and non-academic affiliates are 
welcome. Graduate students may qualify for reduced registration fees. 
Submissions imply that at least one author will register for the 
conference and be present at the time designated in the conference 
program.  To be included in the proceedings and to be eligible for 
publication in the Essays in Economic and Business
History, the paper must be presented by one of the authors at the 
conference.

Submissions by scholars from countries requiring an entry visa into the 
United states must apply early, pay the required registration fee, and 
make the necessary arrangements with the local US Consulate.  EBHS can 
not guarantee that an applicant will be granted a visa by the local U.S. 
Consulate to attend the conference.

The deadline for submission is January 15th, 2009.

Proposals may be submitted online using the form at
