CALL FOR PAPERS and SYMPOSIUM ANNOUNCEMENT
CONF: National Archives Symposium - Looking Backward, Looking Forward
The Society for History in the Federal Government and the National
Archives Assembly are pleased to announce joint sponsorship of a
symposium:
Looking Backward, Looking Forward
April 3 - 4, 1997
National Archives and Records Administration
College Park, Maryland
Nineteen ninety-seven is the fiftieth anniversary of what many consider to
be the beginning of the Cold War. Therefore, a major theme of the
symposium will be the passage of the National Security Act, which created
new agencies and procedures having enormous impact upon the Federal
Government. Suggested topics include the establishment of these and other
federal agencies at the time.
In addition, SHFG and the Assembly invite discussion of possible
directions and problems of historical research in the next fifty years, as
historians and archivists, long accustomed to simple retrieval of records
from paper and micro graphics systems, will be faced with complex
technological issues in preserving and using records stored in a variety
of electronic formats and systems.
The program committee also welcomes papers and sessions on other areas of
federal history.
Submit proposals with short vitae of participants by January 1, 1997, to
either program committee co-chair:
