The British Group of Early American Historians (BGEAH) will hold its annual conference at the University of Portsmouth on August 31-September 3, 2017. Drawing on Portsmouth’s historic significance as a port town, this year’s conference theme is: “Land and Water: Port Towns, Maritime Connections, and Oceanic Spaces of the Early Modern Atlantic World.” The draft program for the meeting, which has several sessions on merchants, trade, and the early modern economy, has now been posted. In addition to regular sessions, there will be two keynote addresses, by Geoffrey Plank of the University of East Anglia, and Mark A. Peterson, of the University of California Berkeley.
