======================== HES POSTING ===================
Dear Colleagues,
We are delighted to invite you to the annual meetings of the History of
Economics Society, to be held at the University of Quebec at Montreal
(UQAM), Montreal, Canada, June 19 - 22, 1998. Please note that the
following information is also being sent by normal mail to all members of
the HES and is available on the HES website at
http://www.eh.net/ehnet/HisEcSoc/Conferences/society_conferences.shtml
We remind you that the Call for Papers was sent out by HES President-Elect
Dave Colander last fall (a reminder was posted to HES along with this
message). The deadline for receiving proposals has been slightly extended
to February 15, and further information concerning the conference program
may be had from Dave Colander at Tel. (802) 443-5302, Fax (802) 443-2084,
or E-mail [log in to unmask]
Montreal is a vibrant, stimulating, multicultural city. In June, the
weather is invariably sunny and warm, the outdoor cafes are overflowing,
and the ice storms of winter have long since been forgotten. The UQAM
campus is right in the heart of Montreal, close to restaurants, shops,
museums, and other places of interest, and the conference has been planned
in such a way as to give you maximum time to enjoy the city. The meetings
will be held at UQAM's Ecole des Sciences de la Gestion (School of
Management Science), and you can choose to stay at either the brand new
University Residences or the Lord Berri Hotel, both of which are a short
walk from the conference site.
On-site registration will begin on the afternoon of Friday 19th. The
conference will open that evening at 6pm with a keynote address by Nathan
Rosenberg, which will be followed by a substantial Reception-Buffet. The
conference sessions will be held over the following three days, Saturday
20th, Sunday 21st, and Monday 22nd. Coffee, croissants and similar fare
will be provided on site as you arrive each morning and, each day, you will
be free to take lunch in the area nearby. On Saturday, after the sessions
and the HES Business Meeting, there will be a wine reception from 6-7pm,
after which you may wish to dine out in one of Montreal's many restaurants.
On Sunday, the Presidential address will be followed by the social
highpoint of the weekend, the Conference Banquet, and, on Monday, around
noon, the meetings will draw to a close.
Below you will find three items: Conference Information, an Accomodation
Form, and a Registration Form. Please read them all carefully and return
the Accomodation and Registration Forms, by regular mail or fax, by March
31. Should you have any questions concerning your visit, please contact me
at [log in to unmask], labelling your message "HES".
We greatly look forward to seeing you in Montreal in June! On behalf of
Dave Colander, I remain,
Yours sincerely,
Valerie Cauchemez
(Local organiser, HES Montreal)

CONFERENCE INFORMATION H.E.S., Montreal, June 19-22
I. REGISTRATION
Everyone attending the conference is expected to register, and
pre-registration is encouraged. All program participants must pre-register
in order to be included in the final program. The full registration fee
covers attendance at all sessions, all coffee breaks, the Saturday wine
reception, a copy of the abstracts, and the program materials.
Student registration includes attendance at sessions, all coffee breaks,
the Saturday wine reception, a copy of the abstracts, and the program
materials. In order to qualify for the special registration fee, students
must enclose proof of status for the current academic year with their
registration form.
Registration fees, less a $35 administration charge, will be refunded if
cancellation is received in writing by June 1, 1998. After that date,
registration fees are non-refundable. All refunds will be processed after
the Conference.
To take advantage of the reduced early registration fees, please complete
the enclosed registration form and return it no later than March 31, 1998.
Registration postmarked April 1 or later will be subject to late
registration fees. Registration will be accepted by fax if credit card
information is supplied.
The Conference registration desk will be located in UQAM's Ecole des
Sciences de la Gestion, Building R, at 315 St. Catherine St. East, and will
open at 2.00pm Friday, June 19.
II. ACCOMODATION
Accomodation for the conference will be at the UQAM Student Residences, 303
Rene Levesque Blvd., for the most part, and at the Lord Berri Hotel, 1199
Berri St. The Residences are brand new, having opened this year, are
simple but perfectly comfortable, and provide all necessities such as
linen, towels, telephone with voice mail, etc.
Reservation: N.B. Because of the city's numerous cultural and sporting
events, such as the Grand Prix and the Jazz Festival, visitor accomodation
in Montreal in June is at an absolute premium. Reservation of either the
Residence or the Hotel must therefore be received by March 31 and should be
done by completing and returning the Accomodation Form. We cannot
guarantee accomodation requests made after this date, and anybody who
chooses to arrive in Montreal without any reservation will most likely have
trouble finding a vacancy.
Payment : For Residence accomodation, this must be included with the
registration fee, by March 31. For Hotel accomodation, a one-day deposit
($CAN 105) must be included with the registration fee, and the balance then
paid in June at the Lord Berri Hotel.
III. TRAVEL
Montreal's Dorval and Mirabel airports are served by numerous airlines
including Air Canada, British Airways, Air France, Lufthansa, Continental,
Delta, and American Airlines. Transportation from the airports to the
hotel is by bus and by taxi. The bus will bring you to the Voyageur Bus
Station, a five-minute walk from both the Hotel and the University
Residences. From Dorval, the nearest airport, the bus costs around $9, and
the taxi around $25. From Mirabel, the bus costs around $8, and the taxi
around $55.
IV. SESSIONS
The Conference will begin on Friday afternoon, June 19, at 6pm with an
Opening Plenary Session (Keynote speaker: Nathan Rosenberg), followed by a
Reception-Buffet. These and all subsequent events, including sessions and
the Conference Banquet, will take place in UQAM's Ecole des Sciences de la
Gestion, Building R, at 315 St. Catherine St. East.
V. PROGRAM
The call for papers was first mailed by Dave Colander in September. Please
contact him at Tel. (802) 443-5302, Fax (802) 443-2084, or E-mail

February 15, 1998.
