We have got together a very strong and coherent program under the historical geography banner for the 2001 conference. I am delighted to say that this includes sessions from the Center for Spatially Integrated Social Science, the Electronic Cultural Atlas Initiative, the US National Historical GIS, with many individuals who have also contributed sessions. The final session is a roundtable in which I hope we can draw together ideas on the use of geographical thinking in general and GIS in particular. We have a total of nine sessions who have listed historical geography as their primary network. A provisional timetable for these is given below.
Most of the practical details necessary for attending the conference are published by the SSHA I would like to draw your attention to the requirements of the SSHA to pre-register for the conference. The conference venue is the Palmer House Hilton, if you intend to stay here I suggest booking early as it will fill up. There are cheaper places to stay in Chicago. If anyone has any good suggestions please let me know so I can pass them on.
Finally, the 2002 conference will be in St. Louis, October 24-27. To get the
arrangements for this off to a flying start it would be great if people could
bring suggestions about this to the historical geography network meeting
to be held on Friday at 1:00pm. This is an open meeting at which we discuss
where the network should go over the next 12 months and start planning for the
following conference. A good attendance can only benefit the network.
