[Ann Carlos]

2009 Cliometrics Conference

The annual Cliometrics Conference in 2009 will be held on the weekend of 
Friday, June 5th through Sunday, June 7th.  The conference will be 
hosted by Gettysburg College, Gettysburg, PA.  Funding to help support 
the conference is provided by the National Science Foundation.

The conference is designed to provide extensive discussion of new and 
innovative research in economic history.  Typically, twelve papers are 
selected for presentation and discussion.  These are sent out to all 
conference participants in advance.  Each presented paper is devoted a 
session, in which authors have 5 minutes to make an opening statement 
and the rest of the session is devoted to discussion among all 
conference participants.  All participants are required to read all 
papers and to attend the entire conference.

The deadline for paper proposals and requests to attend the meetings is 
Friday, January 23rd, 2009.  Proposals and requests will be accepted as 
early as December 15th, 2008. We can only invite a limited number of 
participants, so it is important to be prompt.  Those wishing to present 
a paper should provide an abstract and a 3-5 page summary of the 
proposed paper. In choosing papers and participants, priority will be 
given to those who have not attended recently or who have never 
attended.  Graduate students wishing to attend should submit a paper 
proposal and obtain a letter of recommendation from their dissertation 
advisor.  Those wishing to present papers or attend the conference 
should provide their addresses, phone and fax numbers, and e-mail 
addresses.  Those whose papers are selected for presentation will be 
notified by February 27th, 2009 and are expected to provide a completed 
draft of the paper in the proper format for the conference volume no 
later than by April 3rd, 2009.
