The European Association for Banking and Financial History (EABH) will hold its 2014 annual meeting on June 12-13, 2014, at the Swiss Re Centre for Global Dialogue in Rüschlikon, Switzerland. The main events are the archival workshop, "Banks at War: Financial Institutions Confronted by the Great War," on June 12 and the annual conference, with the theme "Risk Management," on June 13. The conference is divided into two segments, oral histories in the morning and research papers in the afternoon. For both the workshop and the research segment of the conference, abstracts are available on-line. Full descriptions of the workshop and conference, as well as registration information, are available on the EABH website.
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 .
