About the Economic History Association

Updated on 2009-12-17 16:01

The Economic History Association was founded in 1940. Its purpose is to encourage and promote teaching, research, and publication on every phase of economic history, broadly defined, and to encourage and assist in the preservation and administration of the materials for research in economic history. The Association publishes The Journal of Economic History and a Newsletter, and holds an annual meeting (usually in September). Research is supported through Arthur H. Cole grants-in-aid.

Hotel

Updated on 2011-08-22 13:14

UPDATE: The conference hotel (Seaport Hotel, see below - there may still be cancellations, so it's possible that odd rooms become available; however, it is not likely) is now full, so the attendees should seek alternative accommodations in Boston. To assist in this regard, the EHA has reserved additional rooms (15 in total) at a nearby hotel at the same nightly rate ($189). The overflow hotel is Renaissance Boston Waterfront Hotel. The deadline to make a reservation is August 26, 2011.
