The Atlantic History Seminar Web site recently established pages devoted to abstracts of dissertations in Atlantic history in the early modern period. We present here dissertations on topics in Atlantic history, in progress or recently completed. The site operates by a combination of solicitation and self-submission; we try to be on the lookout for dissertations in the field, but we strongly encourage those of you working in Atlantic History in the early modern period to send an abstract to us.

We now have an Abstract Submission Form that can be filled out and submitted online. For browsers that cannot deal with forms, users can see the format on the abstract page, and simply send the required information in the body of an email. Abstracts should not exceed 300 words.

We are particularly eager to include abstracts from scholars in countries other than the United States, including those working in languages other than English. We will be happy to post abstracts in any language, though we would like to provide an English translation as well, and so request, but do not require, dual abstracts for foreign-language dissertations.
