CFP: Economics Network of SSHA

The Economics Network of the Social Science History Association calls for papers for the 2014 SSHA conference, which will be held in Toronto, Ontario, on November 6-9, 2014. The conference theme is "Inequalities:  Politics, Policy, and the Past." SSHA draws submissions of papers and panels through networks organized by topic or field. The Economics Network representatives are
         Mark Geiger <mwgeiger1@gmail.com>
         Matt Jaremski <mjaremski@colgate.edu>
         Peter Meyer <meyer.peter@bls.gov>
         Evan Roberts <eroberts@umn.edu>
Submissions of economics-related papers or (preferably) full panels are due by February 14, 2014. Organizers are also interested in hearing from volunteer chairs or discussants.

The Economics Network meeting at the November 2013 meetings generated numerous ideas for panel sessions, including:
·         Approx. 100 years since the Federal Reserve Act and World War I
·         150 years since National Banking Acts
·         Approx. 200 years since War of 1812
·         Border studies, noting our conference's proximity to the Canada-US border
·         Meet the authors panel. We welcome suggestions of potential books by authors and readers
·         Comparisons of banking systems (notably US and Canada)
·         Fifty years of the War on Poverty
Other submissions related to social science history that can be incorporated into interdisciplinary panels are welcome, especially if they relate to the conference theme of "Inequalities."

A submission must provide an abstract, title and contact information, and designate a network (or networks) where the paper is likely to fit. Please submit paper and session proposals at http://conference.ssha.org. For more information including the conference-wide call for papers and information about the other networks please see the SSHA website at http://www.ssha.org/annual-conference.

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>...
