Dear EBHS members and guests,

The Atlanta conference submission and registration systems are now open again after backend software updates of the conference and journal sections of our website. Please check the Atlanta conference site here. You can still send paper and panel proposals directly by email to Program Chair Craig McMahon ().

Our journal Essays in Economic & Business History has only the 2019 issue online. We are working to get our archives back online and are improving the website in the process. In the meantime, you can browse the archive metadata on our DOAJ site. Authors, you can find the new, improved submission page here.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. Hope to see you in Atlanta!

Call for Papers Extended!

The Economic and Business History Society (EBHS) is now accepting proposals for our 45th Annual Conference, to be held from May 28 to 30, 2020, at the Sheraton Atlanta, in downtown Atlanta, Georgia. Call for Papers is open until February 17, 2020. Our general theme is Economic and Business History at the Crossroads. Here we would encourage reflections on ‘crossroads’, as sign of cultural and commercial interchange, geographic meeting places, exchanges and entrepots, and temporal and historical moments of divergence and contingency. However, individual proposals for presentations on any aspect of economic, business, or financial history are welcome, as are proposals for whole panels. We also encourage submissions from graduate students and non-academic affiliates.

Please send paper and panel proposals temporarily directly to Program Chair Craig McMahon ().
