Hello- I am organizing a Session for SHA 2003 in Providence, RI. Theme: "Over Land, Over Sea: Trade During the Colonial Period." I wish to cover the maritime activities the brought the colonies into being and made them grow. I know this is broad, but I feel that trade touched every part of colonial life. Therefore, both terrestrial and underwater sites can be addressed as well as the historical research associated with town settlement and development. Deadline for submission of related materials is June 1, 2002 however, MY DEADLINE Is MAY 15, 2002 as I will be out of the country after MAY 17, 2002. If you wish to participate, please contact me. I will need to collect (per SHA guidelines) and submit all at once, by MAY 15, 2002: Your abstract. Copy of your Application Form. Pre-registration fees and paperwork (if you are a student, a copy of your ID) MAKE CHECKS TO SHA NOT me! Please feel free to contact me with any questions. Students are welcome.
