>New Program in Early American Economy and Society
>
>The Library Company of Philadelphia announces the establishment of a new
>Program in Early American Economy and Society that will foster
>scholarship in and public understanding of the origins and growth of
>America's economic system and the nation's business history through the
>Civil War. The Library Company, founded in 1731, is an independent
>research library that has one of the premier collections in the nation
>of printed materials relating to the study of early American economy,
>business, and technology. The new Program will offer short-term and
>long-term research fellowships to doctoral candidates and senior
>scholars; bimonthly seminars throughout the academic year to be held at
>the Library Company and at co-sponsoring institutions; conferences that
>will appeal to both scholarly and lay audiences; teacher training
>institutes; publications such as conference proceedings and monographs;
>and a variety of public programs such as lectures, exhibitions, and a
>web site. The Program will also enable the Library Company to augment,
>catalog, and conserve its collections in this field, and Program staff
>will carry out a survey of research resources at the Library Company and
>at many other regional repositories, documenting the wealth of
>information available at Philadelphia-area institutions bearing on this
>subject. The Program will be the first in the nation dedicated to
>collecting and explicating American economic history in its formative
>years, and will fill a void in our understanding of this important
>aspect of the formation and growth of American society. The Director of
>the Program is Cathy D. Matson, Associate Professor of History at the
>University of Delaware and a noted scholar in the field. For further
>information, contact Professor Matson at [log in to unmask]
