Atlantic History Seminar
Harvard University

The International Seminar on the History of the Atlantic World, 1500-1825, is sponsoring a conference, "Atlantic History: Soundings," to celebrate the Tenth Anniversary of the program. The papers will be presented by former members of the Atlantic History Seminar, 1996-2004, and will cover a broad range of topics, from "Declarations of Independence in the Atlantic World" and the common law to the Jesuits as an Atlantic force, and from Dutch networks to the Black Atlantic. In addition to concurrent sessions during the conference, there will also be an opening session on broad themes and a session on the teaching of Atlantic history.
The conference is open to the academic public, but registration is required and must be completed no later than July 15, 2005. Registrations will be accepted on a first come, first served basis, as space will be limited by room capacities. There is a registration fee of $25.00, waived for graduate students.
