The American Battlefield Protection Program's
7th National Conference on Battlefield Preservation
Nashville, Tennessee
April 19-25, 2004






The week-long conference will combine meetings, workshops, presentations,
and tours of four battlefield preservation groups: the ABPP, the Civil War
Preservation Trust (CWPT), the International Battlefield Terrain
Conservation Group, and the International Battlefield Archeology
Conference. This combination could result in one of the most dynamic and
diverse meetings on battlefield preservation ever presented in the United
States.


Archeologists from around the world will meet during sessions for the Third
International Battlefield Archeology Conference - Fields of Conflict III
from April 20-21. During the Second International Workshop on Earthworks
and Battlefield Terrain Conservation on April 22, participants will meet to
discuss the "Vimy Declaration for the Preservation of Battlefield Terrain."
The Civil War Preservation Trust will hold its annual meeting concurrently
with the conference from April 22-25, and will offer tours of Civil War
battlefields near Nashville. ABPP events, including a grants workshop and
opening sessions, start on April 23; papers will be presented on April 24
(see attached Call for Papers).


The ABPP will sponsor paper presentations about numerous aspects of
battlefield protection, a workshop on ABPP grants, and sessions concerning
the Revolutionary War and War of 1812 Historic Preservation Study.
Conference attendees will be able to register jointly for CWPT sponsored
tours, banquet, and presentations.
