Call for Proposals
Tenth Annual Meeting
American Association for History and Computing
Greencastle, Indiana, 14-15 March 2003)
"Looking Forward, Looking Back:
 The Tenth Anniversary Meeting of the
American Association for History and Computing"

 March 14-15, 2003
DePauw University
Greencastle, IN


Panel and paper proposals are now being solicited for the Annual Meeting

of the American Association for History
and Computing. The 2003 conference will be held on the campus of DePauw
University (www.depauw.edu) in
Greencastle, IN.  Greencastle is a suburb of Indianapolis, IN, and the
campus is a short cab or shuttle ride from the
Indianapolis International airport.

University and college instructors, K-12 teachers, librarians,
publishers, editors, archivists, interpreters, students,
software developers, and all other history/technology professionals are
encouraged to participate. Many
opportunities for interdisciplinary exchange will be provided, and panel

and paper proposals on any topics relating
to the use of digital technologies in history are encouraged.

Suggested themes for panels or individual papers might include:

-         Changes in computing and history over the past ten years

-         What is new and different, what seems to be continuous and
stable?

-         What have we learned about what works and does not work, in
the classroom, in e-publications, etc?

-         Has the electronic classroom truly revolutionized teaching and

learning?

-         What is on the horizon? Will higher education continue its
love/hate relationship with educational
technologies?

-         How has information technology and the internet changed the
face of historical research and access to
scholarly collections?

Proposals may be made for either complete panels or individual papers.
Multimedia presentations are especially
encouraged, but participants are advised that they are responsible for
providing their own laptop computers and
software as needed. The conference hosts will make available LCD
projectors and a limited number of live Internet
connections.

Suggested formats for full panels include three 30-minute papers, four
20-minute papers, or a round table format.
Other innovative format proposals will be considered. Proposals for
complete panels should also include a chair. A
panel may include a formal comment or question and response with the
audience. All proposals must include a
200 word abstract for each paper along with a brief vita for each
participant. Please be sure to indicate which
member of the panel will serve as the contact person for future
correspondence. Please include the name,
address, telephone number, and e-mail address for each participant.
