      THE INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR INTELLECTUAL HISTORY 
 
aims to bring together scholars in intellectual history from all 
countries and all disciplines.  ISIH was founded in 1994 by an 
international group of scholars, and a steering committee has been formed, 
consisting of Constance Blackwell (Foundation for Intellectual History, 
London), Donald R. Kelley (Rutgers University, New Brunswick), Ulrich 
Johannes Schneider (Universitaet Leipzig), Wilhelm Schmitt-Biggemann (Freie 
Universitaet, Berlin), Edoardo Tortarolo (University of Torino), Francoise 
Wacquet (CNRS, Paris), and Charles Webster (All Souls College, Oxford), Ann 
Blair (Harvard University). 
 
The ISIH proposes to organize conferences and to publish a 
newsletter in order to facilitate and to extend contacts among 
scholars with interdisciplinary interests.  It will welcome other 
projects and act in general as a network of communication and 
exchange concerning questions arising in and across the history 
of various humanistic and scientific disciplines, with respect to 
national, cultural, and gender identities.  All ISIH members will 
receive a newsletter which will appear at least once a year to 
rovide information about conferences and activities of the 
society's members. 
 
The ISIH will organize a conference at least every four years. 
The first conference will be the United States in 1997 ("The Idea 
of Tradition"), and the second will take place in Berlin 1998 
("The History of Endings").  Future topics may include "The 
Republic of Letters" and Intellectual Quarrels." 
 
Among other projects, the ISIH sponsors a "Dictionary of 
Intellectual Historians," containing essays on major twentieth- 
century scholars who are of contemporary importance, and a series 
of reprints of early modern who have contributed to intellectual 
history. 
 
Dues for membership and the Newsletter are US $20 (students $10) or
