The program is out and registration is open for “James K. Polk and His Time: A Conference Finale to the Polk Project”!
Join us in April to celebrate the completion of the James K. Polk Project. Begun in 1958, the project is about to finish its fourteen-volume letterpress and digital series of the Correspondence of James K. Polk. These volumes, featuring annotated transcriptions of thousands of letters from 1817–49, enable twenty-first-century readers to use the nineteenth-century documents. They have nurtured diverse scholarship on antebellum America.

The AHA invites proposals for a very limited number of late-breaking sessions for the 2019 annual meeting. These sessions should explore either major, late-breaking controversies within the discipline or the relevance of history and historical thinking to public policy and culture related to current events. The review committee will favor proposals focused on historical framing of contemporary events of great moment. We strongly encourage organizers to build panels that encompass a range of perspectives. Sessions that adopt an international approach are particularly welcome.

After the successful launch of our first volume this fall, the editors of SOAR invite contributions for our second volume, for which we chosen the theme of “The Resistance.” In addition to its use in the current political climate, SOAR welcomes essays that consider this term in a variety of ways and periods, and across disciplinary fields relating to the United States.
