CALL FOR PROPOSALS
PAPERS, PANELS, & COMMENTATORS Researching New York 2009
The organizers of the 11th annual Researching New York Conference invite proposals for panels, papers, workshops, roundtables, exhibits, documentary, and media or multimedia presentations on any facet of New York State history -in any time period and from any perspective. The conference will be held at the University at Albany on November 19th and 20th, 2009.
400 years of Exploration: the Hudson-Champlain Corridor and Beyond  To mark the upcoming Hudson-Champlain Quadricentennial, for Researching New York 2009, we encourage submissions that speak to this year's conference theme, 400 years of Exploration: the Hudson-Champlain Corridor and Beyond. We especially invite proposals that explore and interpret not only the exploits of Henry Hudson and Samuel de Champlain, but the many kinds of exploration that have taken place in the ensuing 400 years of New York State's rich and diverse history-including consideration or how we remember, celebrate, interpret, and commemorate historical events.
We are also soliciting commentators for panels. If you would like to participate as a commentator, please send a note to resrchny@albany.edu. indicating your area of expertise, along with a one-page vita.
Researching New York brings together historians, researchers, archivists, museum curators, librarians, graduate students, teachers, Web and multimedia producers, and documentarians to share their work on New York State history. Presentations that highlight the vast resources available to researchers, as well as scholarship drawn from those resources, are encouraged.
Proposals are due by June 28, 2009. Full panel proposals, workshops, roundtables, exhibits, film screenings and media presentations are welcome. Partial panels and individual submissions will be considered. For panels and full proposals, please submit a one-page abstract of the complete session, a one page abstract for each paper or presentation, and a one-page curriculum vita for each participant. Individual submissions should include a one-page abstract and one-page curriculum vita. Submissions must include name, address, telephone number, and e-mail address. Please submit electronically to resrchny@albany.edu. All proposals must note any anticipated technology and audio visual needs. Please keep in mind that we may be unable to meet all requests. We ask that you only request what you truly need.
If you have any questions or comments, please contact us at resrchny@albany.edu.
Thanks for your interest; we look forward to your participation
at this year's Conference.
