STHC-L: The Science, Technology and Health Care Archives Forum
[Previous Posting] [Next Posting] [Report on STHC Roundtable at SAA 2006]
Dear Colleagues, It was good to see so many of you at last month's Washington SAA meeting. We had more than fifty attendees at the Science Technology and Health Care (STHC) Roundtable meeting where we had a full and varied program. Highlights included a session on documentary history projects and Joe Anderson's tribute to our late colleague Joan Warnow. And we batted around ideas for session proposals for SAA's 2007 meeting in Chicago. If any of you are proposing sessions for the Chicago meeting and the topic of your proposal pertains to science, technology, or health care issues/records/papers, we invite you to submit them to STHC for consideration for Roundtable endorsement. Program procedures for the 2007 meeting allow the Roundtable to endorse two proposals. The drop-dead deadline for submitting session proposals to SAA is October 9. To allow enough time to circulate proposals among the Roundtable's Steering Committee for review, please submit your proposal to me or STHC Co-Chair Paul Theerman by close of business Friday September 29. The Call for Proposals is on the SAA website at http://www.archivists.org/conference/chicago2007/proposals.asp Suggestions and tips for preparing a successful proposal are at http://www.archivists.org/conference/proposals101/index.asp We encourage everyone who is considering submitting a session proposal to read these tips closely and follow them. As you put together your proposals, remember that the Program Committees prefer sessions in which all of the proposed speakers have been contacted and have agreed to speak prior to the submission deadline. Please feel free to use this listserv to throw out ideas for possible sessions for feedback or to get suggestions for speakers to complete a session. And, don't hesitate to contact Steering Committee members directly for input and advice in shaping, editing, or refining a proposal. Committee members' contact information is posted on the STHC website at http://www.archivists.org/saagroups/sthc/members.html Janice Goldblum and Paul Theerman (jgoldblu@nas.edu) (theermp@mail.nlm.nih.gov) STHC Co-chairs ____________________________________________________________ STHC-L - Science, Technology, and Health Care Archives Forum STHC-L@lists.ucla.edu http://lists.ucla.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sthc-l STHC-L@lists.ucla.edu STHC-L Archives -- Main Index STHC-L Archives -- 2006 Message Index |
