Dear members
Please note this call for papers on H-Announce, which may be of interest to those of you who are researching reconstruction in Western Europe in the 20th century.
It would be great to get some oral historians to this symposium - we'd love to hear the voices of people who were part of reconstruction efforts or who were recipients of aid or support following times of crises such as wars, civilian upheavals and natural disasters.
Registrations are now open for the 2019 Oral History Australia Biennial Conference to be held in Brisbane from 10 to 13 October 2019.
Book now to access early bird rates. Standard ticketing begins on 1 August 2019.
The four-day event features:
We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of Vivian Perlis, the intrepid founder and long-time director of Yale's Oral History of American Music. Vivian Perlis’s legacy is an invaluable collage of pioneering foresight and determination, the effects of which will be felt for generations to come. Her discernment of the benefit of chronicling the musical voices of our time led Perlis to interview colossal figures from Aaron Copland to Eubie Blake, John Adams to John Cage, and—among many more—those who had known and worked with Duke Ellington and Charles Ives.
The IOHA 2020 Conference website is now online at www.ioha2020.sg. You may view more information on the Conference Theme and the Call for Papers and Workshop Proposals.
