The City of Cambridge Archives Board invites you | to join them on Saturday 
October 22, 2011 for History on the Grand, a one day local history symposium 
being held at Cambridge's City Hall in Downtown Cambridge Ontario.  The 
overarching aim of this symposium is to provide a forum for members of the 
academic community, historical and heritage groups,  historical sites, local 
government
 representatives, museums, archives and the general public to share research 
and discuss  issues arising from the study of local history  and making 
history public.  The theme of this  year's symposium, People and Place, 
speaks to a  topic that is relevant and significant in both a  historical 
perspective and to the current  community.  We hope to attract a wide 
variety of  presenters and papers to discuss the history of  immigration and 
migration to Southwestern  Ontario, and the ethnic and cultural groups that 
make up our communities.

 We invite proposals for papers on a wide variety  of themes including but 
not limited to:
 · History of the settlement of our communities
 · History of a particular ethnic/cultural group in our communities
 · Immigration or migration history to Southwestern Ontario
 · Traditions and representations of  ethnic/cultural groups in our current 
communities

 Please submit a brief paper abstract, maximum 500  words, plus a brief (1-2 
pages) curriculum vitae or biography.

 Deadline for submissions is Friday April 29,  2011, and presenters will be 
notified by Friday  June 17, 2011.  For further information and the 
submission of paper abstracts please contact: Jim
 Quantrell, City of Cambridge Archives, PO Box 669  Cambridge, Ontario, N1R 
5W8 or by email at: [log in to unmask]

 Come to Cambridge in October and spend a day with  us on the scenic and 
historic Grand River.
