Dear Colleagues,
As the Canadian representative on the Board of the National Council of
Public History (NCPH), I would like to invite you to participate in the
upcoming conference of the NCPH in April 2001 in Ottawa, Ontario. This will
be the second conference of the organization in Canada and the NCPH is
interested in broadening its membership and activities to address the
international field. Ottawa in mid April will be captivating - remember that
Queen Victoria picked it as the national capital so that invaders would have
trouble finding it in the bushes.
The conferences of the NCPH are a stimulating forum for the exchange of
ideas and experiences between public historians (many from the US National
Park Service and other government agencies), museum curators
presentation/interpretation staff from a wide range of heritage agencies and
teaching staff from public history programs.
The conferences include workshops on public history skills, sessions and
relevant regional tours of public history interest.
I hope you will join us in Ottawa in 2001 and will seriously consider
submitting a paper or session for the conference. I look forward to hearing
from you
Sincerely,
David Neufeld
Co-Chair, Program Committee
NCPH Board of Directors

CALL FOR PAPERS -- NATIONAL COUNCIL ON PUBLIC HISTORY
2001 Annual Meeting

The National Council on Public History invites proposals for sessions,
papers, panels, roundtables, poster sessions, and workshops for the 2001
Annual Meeting to be held in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. The Program Committee
encourages presentations that emphasize the role of public history in
shaping national culture, national identity, or cultural identity, and that
address the conference theme, "Belonging: Public Historians and Place."
Broad topic suggestions include:
- Cultural tourism and cultural identity
- Cultural landscapes: associative, organically evolved, and designed
- indigenous rights movements and the reconsideration of national identity
- place as a palimpsest: cultural diversity, environmental impact, social
conflict - transnational aspects of cultural identity
- heritage education, community history, and national identity
- corporate memory and institutional identity
Complete session and panel proposals are encouraged, although the Program
Committee will make reasonable effort to construct sessions from topically
related individual presentation proposals.
Session and panel proposals must include a cover page with a one-paragraph
descriptive overview of the session or panel and a list of participants:
chair or moderator, presenters or panelists, and commentator, if any. The
cover page must be followed by one-page summaries of each presentation and
brief resumes for all participants.
Information submitted for each participant should include all pertinent
contact information:
