The New York State Association of European Historians will hold its fifty-second annual meeting September 20 & 21 , 2002 at Canisius College, Buffalo, NY.

Those interested in offering papers or entire panels for consideration for inclusion in the program should send their proposals to me before April 15.

The New York State Association of European historians is an extremely informal association of historians who are interested in the history of Europe in the broadest sense (yes, we include the British Isles and colonial areas if the topic is related to European development).

Despite its title, the Association is not limited to individuals residing in New York State. Any scholar is welcome to participate in the annual conference. We have had panelists from all over the United States and Europe. Graduate students who are at dissertation stage are welcome to offer proposals.

The NYSAEH is an excellent place to try out ideas. You will find the members to be extremely supportive, while providing constructive comments that can be used to sharpen your thinking or refine your arguments.

Finally membership is mostly an act of the will. We do collect nominal dues at the annual meeting, but mostly you are a member if you want to be.
