The First World Congress of Business History (which is being held in combination with the annual European Business History Association [EBHA] meeting) got under way yesterday (August 25) in Bergen, Norway. The event began with a keynote speech on Thursday evening by Mira Wilkins, on "The Historical Impact of Multinational Enterprise on the Modern World Economy." For those unable to attend, the online program contains links to PDFs of many of the papers being presented. Images are available on the EBHA Facebook pages.
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>...
