I am forwarding information on the Fort Ross Bicentennial Conference, to
be held 24 - 27 April 2012.  This should be an outstanding conference
for anyone interested in colonial Russian America.  In conjunction with
the conference, the organizers have arranged for a tour of
archaeological collections in Sacramento, as well as "wine country"
events.  They request that those planning to attend please register for
the hotel and events as soon as possible.  Because venue availability
and charges are linked to the number of registrants, this is important.
I hope to see you there!
