EABH Conference and Workshop Information Available

The European Association of Banking and Financial History (EABH) has posted information about its upcoming conference, which till take place in Amsterdam on May 20-21, 2011. The theme of the conference is "Corporate Governance in Financial Institutions: Historical Developments and Current Problems." The meeting will be accompanied by a workshop on "Photography Collections of (Financial) Companies: A Corporate Historical View," which will take place on May 19. In the words of the organizers, the conference:
intends to evoke discussions about the historical antecedents and evolution of the management control, ownership and regulation in financial institutions. In particular, the conference will focus on four topics: Models of Corporate Governance; Governance Mechanisms in Financial Institutions; Regulation and Legislation of Governance; Archives and Corporate Governance. The conference will explore the historical evolution of corporate governance in the finance and insurance industry, and the impact banking and financial crises have had on this evolution, both in a European and global context. The conference will open with a panel discussion on Corporate Governance.
The aim of the workshop is to put corporate photography collections in the spotlight, with a focus on photography at financial companies. Where are these collections? How are they preserved and managed? Who knows about them? How are they used? How can we see these collections? Please note that participation in the workshop is limited; registration must be completed by Friday, April 29, 2011.
   Registration and accommodation information for both the conference and the workshop can be found on the EABH conference website.

The Exchange is changing platforms! Please read to continue receiving our messages [working links]

  Dear subscribers to The Exchange: I am happy to announce that our blog is moving platforms. For almost a decade, the Business History Conference has used Blogger to publish and archive posts. However, in early 2021, the blogging site announced that their email serving service would be terminated. In addition, we noticed that many of our subscribers had stopped receiving the blog’s emails, and our subscription provides very limited reporting. In agreement, the Electronic Media Oversight Committee , web administrator Shane Hamilton, and web editor Paula de la Cruz-Fernández decided to move our web blog from Blogger to our website . We now write to you to request that if you wish to continue receiving announcements from the BHC, please subscribe here: https://thebhc.org/subscribe-exchange   Interested people will be asked to log into their BHC’s account or open one, free.
