CFP: AHA Annual Meeting, New York, 2015

The American Historical Association (AHA) has issued the call for proposals for its 2015 meeting. The AHA will meet in New York City on January 2-5, 2015, when the theme of the meeting will be "History and Other Disciplines." The Program Committee welcomes session proposals from all members of the Association, whatever their institutional affiliation or status, as well as from affiliated societies, historians working outside the United States, and scholars in related disciplines. Please note that proposals for individual presentations can be submitted only as posters; single paper proposals will not be considered for any other type of session.
   Proposals, which can be drawn up in several different categories this year, must be submitted on-line. The deadline is February 15, 2014. Those considering sending in a submission might first want to read Debbie Ann Doyle, "New Ideas for Creative Formats at the Annual Meeting," which outlines the possibilities of various new session formats.
    BHC members should be aware that the organization is an affiliated society of the AHA, and that there is a Liaison Committee to facilitate interaction, currently co-chaired by Josh Lauer and Caitlin Rosenthal. Note, however, that affiliated status does not give organizations priority in the selection process.

Digital Collection: Princeton Exhibit of Subway Posters

The Princeton University Library has digitized a number of posters from the Interborough Rapid Transit Subway Company . The posters, designed by the public relations firm Ivy Lee, were displayed in subway cars to provide information to riders about changes in fares and routes, safety issues, and other matters of interest.  The collection consists of 385 images dating from 1918 to 1932; many of them provide financial information about rates, company dividends, and a general look at an early rapid transit system. October 29, update: Jonathan Rees over at "More or Less Bunk" was moved by this post to go off in search of a better site, and found the massive collection of the London Transport Museum , which displays over 5,000 items in a searchable collection .

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. If you have questions, please email The Business History Conference <web-admin [at] thebhc.org>...
