Virginia Forum: Call for Papers Virginia has long lacked a regular
forum for ongoing discussion of issues and initiatives pertinent to
all
aspects of its history. The Virginia Forum, a conference planned for
April 7-8, 2006, at Shenandoah University in Winchester, Virginia, is
intended to address this deficiency. The event will be of interest to
students, teachers, and scholars, as well as historical professionals
from museums, historical societies, historic sites, and all related
fields including public history, preservation, geography, literature,
and archaeology. Proposals for presentations on any area of
scholarship
or research on Virginia prehistory and history are encouraged. This
event is sponsored by the History Center of Shenandoah University and
the Shenandoah University Community History Project. Warren R.
Hofstra,
of Shenandoah University, and Brent Tarter, of the Library of
Virginia,
are conference chairs. The conference will conclude with an open
discussion asking all participants how best to establish the Virginia
Forum as an annual event for the promotion of scholarship and writing
on
the history of Virginia. Submit proposals by September 15, 2005 to:
Warren R. Hofstra, Shenandoah University, 1460 University Drive,
Winchester, Virginia 22601, [log in to unmask]
