Open Source History:
Making History Public
The American Association for History and Computing (AAHC)
2007 Annual Conference
In association with the Brown University
Public Humanities Program
Providence, RI
April 19-21, 2007
The AAHC invites you to make history public...
Join the American Association for History and Computing and Brown
Universityıs Public Humanities Program for an innovative look at how
technology is allowing for a shared public dialogue between historians and a
broad public audience. This conference will be of interest to anyone who is
charged with bringing history to a general audience, including museum
professionals, archivists, librarians, historic preservationists,
filmmakers, as well as academic historians. The conference will explore:
* The role of technology in breaking down the barriers between historians
and the larger public
* Ways that historians have used digital technology to communicate with
diverse public audiences
* Ways in which the practice of ³academic history² is altered when made
public
* The ³wikipedia-ization² of history
* New forms of collaboration between historians, archivists, librarians,
historic preservationists, teachers and students
* New forms of display and historical representation
If you are an historian (academic, public, secondary education, graduate
student) or engage history through a related discipline (librarian,
archivist, publisher, editor, etc.), you are invited to submit your panel or
single presentation proposals.
All presenters must be current members of the AAHC. For more information
about membership, please visit our website www.theaahc.org
Proposals for complete panels should include a chair. All proposals must
include a 200-word abstract for each paper, along with a brief vita for each
participant. Please be sure to indicate which member of the panel will serve
as the contact person for future correspondence. Please include name,
address, telephone number, and email address for each participant.
Deadline for Proposal Submissions: January 31, 2007. Electronic submissions
are encouraged.
Providence is the perfect place to bring these strings together: a city
steeped in history, while developing a forward looking community. Join us
for a great exchange of ideas, interesting workshops, and fun evening events
this year in Providence, RI.
