The Society for the History of Children and Youth invites participants to its Bi-Annual Conference, June 26-29, 2003. This year's theme is "Childhood and the State--The State of Childhood." The meeting will be held at the University of Maryland Baltimore County, Baltimore, Maryland.

The campus is conveniently located near Baltimore-Washington International Airport, just off Interstate I-95, about 30 miles north of Washington, D.C. UMBC is a short taxi cab ride from the airport. The BWI AMTRAK station is also close to the campus. Taxis are also readily available at that location.

Registration information is available online through the H-Childhood website at http://www2.h-net.msu.edu/~child/

or directly at the site below.

Conference registration includes most meals. We recommend using the campus dormitory facilities for overnight accommodations. They are simple, but convenient, affordable, and reasonably comfortable. One set of linens are included with a dormitory reservation. All requests for on-campus rooms must be received by June 16th. The closest hotel accommodations are located near the BWI airport (about a 10 minute drive) or in downtown Baltimore (about a 20 minute drive). Parking on the campus is free during the summer. You may use the on-line registration available through this website, or print out the registration form and mail it to the address below.

Questions? Please contact Prof. Lindenmeyer at via email or phone.

SHCY thanks UMBC, the UMBC History Department and UMBC's DPET for their support with this conference.
