The web-site for the 2005 meeting has been deactivated but is being preserved here for archival purposes.

The 2005 Annual Meeting will be held at National Archives II, College Park Maryland, June 23-25, National Archives II. Registration for the conference is currently open.

Please take note of the some important changes in the registration process of this year’s conference.

First, you may register for the conference on-line and pay fees by credit card. Click on “Registration” in the column to the left and then follow the prompts to make payment through the Paypal system. (Mastercard, Visa, Discover, and American Express cards are accepted.) If you prefer not to register on-line, please complete a paper registration form and mail it together with a check for the proper amount to the address indicated on the form. Paper forms were mailed to SHAFR membership in April 2005; if you need a copy inquire at [email protected].

Second, SHAFR recently adopted a program designed to ease the burden of travel to future conferences by graduate students who are presenting papers. This program solicits contributions through the registration process and earmarks the donated funds for distribution to qualified students attending the following year’s annual meeting. You are invited to contribute any amount to this fund and you may do so by checking the appropriate boxes on the on-line registration form and by including the appropriate amount in your payment. Or you may mail a separate check (payable to SHAFR) to the SHAFR Business Office, 106 Dulles Hall, Ohio State University, 230 West 17th Avenue, Columbus OH 43210. Upon request, receipts will be provided for tax-deduction purposes.
