Arkansas Historical Association Invites Proposals for Annual Conference
The Arkansas Historical Association invites presentation proposals for its 77th annual conference in Fort Smith, April 19-21, 2018. Fort Smith is well known for its border and frontier history, so the conference theme is Frontiers and Borders.
The Arkansas Historical Association welcomes presentations not only on physical frontiers and boundaries in the Fort Smith area but also on all manners of interaction and exchange among peoples, nations, and cultures within and around Arkansas.
Presentations will be limited to 20 minutes, and the association strongly encourages the use of audio-visual elements.
Please send proposals of approximately 200 words to:
Steven Kite, program chair
PO Box 3649
Fort Smith, AR 72913

Steve.kite@uafs.edu
Proposals should be submitted by Oct. 20 and include a mailing address, phone number, and email address. Proposals may be submitted by email. Please contact the program chair with any questions. Presenters must be members in good standing of the Arkansas Historical Association.
