Editor, Winthrop Papers, Massachusetts Historical Society

All seminars take place at the society, 1154 Boylston St., Boston, MA 02215, and commence at 5:15 PM. As always, the seminar consists with discussion of a pre-circulated paper. After a brief introduction by Ms. Kopelson, a commentary by Prof. Bremer, and a rebuttal by Ms. Kopelson, the session will be opened to general discussion by the audience.

After the meeting the Society will serve a light buffet supper. Reservations are suggested but not required to attend the seminar. They are required to attend the supper so that numbers may be given to the caterer. To make a reservation, please email Mr. Vose or call our seminar voicemail line at (617) 646-0540 (for reservations only please) and leave a message.

The event is free and open to the public. There is a charge to subscribe to the papers for the season.

For information on those seminars, please note the contact information elsewhere in this announcement.

We look forward to seeing you at the seminar.
