Researching New York 2000:
Perspectives on Empire State History

Sponsored by:
The Department of History, University at Albany, State University of New York
The History Graduate Student Organization
The New York State Archives and Archives Partnership Trust.


New York has a long and rich history that, while stretching back to the
Iroquoian tribes that inhabited and roamed its vast spaces several hundred
years ago, is looking forward to understanding the cyberspace communities
that today shatter older definitions of geographical boundaries. Soldiers
and sweatshop workers, incarcerated felons and wealthy urbanites, teachers
and parsons, Wall Street brokers and students, homeless vagabonds and
politicians-all are part of the tapestry of New York. Join us as we explore
the Empire State's variegated and significant past.

Researching New York provides a forum for the exploration of New York's
history. It brings together researchers, archivists, librarians, public
historians, museum curators, Web site creators, and
documentarians-emphasizing the integral relationship between researchers
and resources.

The 2nd Annual Researching New York Conference will be held at the
University at Albany ~ SUNY on November 17, 2000. We welcome proposals for
papers, panels, workshops, roundtables, and exhibits on any aspect of New
York history.

Proposals are due by June 26, 2000. Presenters will be notified by August
1, 2000. Full panel proposals are encouraged, however, we will also
consider partial panel and individual submissions. All submissions must
include name, address, telephone number, and e-mail address. Please submit
a one page abstract for each proposal and a one-page curriculum vita for
each presenter to

       history@csc.albany.edu or mail to:
