The preliminary program for the 2013 BHC annual meeting
has now been posted on the website. The theme for this year's conference is "The Cultures and Institutions of Business." The meeting will be held at the
Hyatt Regency Columbus in Columbus, Ohio, on March
21-23. The hotel reservation and meeting registration links are also
in operation. We routinely post abstracts of all the papers presented; that section will be open shortly. We will of course update the website as more information becomes
available.
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 .
