■ What is the Conference?
The Conference on New York State History is an annual meeting of
academic and public historians, librarians and archivists,
educators, publishers, and other interested individuals who come
together to discuss topics and issues related to the people of
New York State in historical perspective and to share
information and ideas regarding historical research,
programming, and the networking of resources and services. Ten
to fifteen presentation sessions, workshops, and a keynote
address permit more than fifty individuals to take part in the
formal program.
Special consideration is accorded first-time presenters,
graduate students, and local government historians. The
conference is self-sustaining and is organized by a committee of
historians from a variety of institutions across the state.
Interested parties are encouraged to discuss proposals and any

proposals in mid-January. Applicants will be notified
immediately thereafter.
