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.
