[Jari Eloranta]

Important Reminders about the Conference:

1. The registration for the 69th Economic History Association annual meeting - held in Tucson, Arizona on September 11-13, 2009 - is now open at: www.ehameeting.com ( http://www.ehameeting.com/ ). If you would prefer to register by using a check or prefer not to use the online
option, please use the printed form in your annual EHA mailing. The preregistration deadline is August 18, 2009. 

2. Completed papers should be submitted by August 11, 2009. By vote of the Board of Trustees, the corresponding author must be a current member of the Association (to join the Association, please go to eh.net/eha). Papers should in all cases be work in progress rather than accepted or published work; submitters have a responsibility to let the program committee know if the paper has been submitted for publication.

3. Paper, poster, and dissertation abstracts will be featured in the conference program, so please send in updated versions of such abstracts by the end of July, 2009. Otherwise the organizers will use the versions already submitted.

4. HOTEL: The Loews Ventana Canyon Resort in Tucson, Arizona is nestled in the Catalina Mountain foothills on 100 acres of ancient Sonoran desert, one mile from the Sabino Canyon Recreational Facility, and 20 minutes from the University of Arizona.

*Note that the website has for a period of time featured the 2008 forms. The correct forms have been sent directly to publishers and the information on the website will be amended immediately.
