Conference Session Proposals Deadline Approaching-Submit Today!

2018 U.P. History Conference Session Proposal Deadline: November 7

2018 U.P. History Conference: June 22-24, 2018, in St. Ignace

Are you interested in presenting a historical topic at one of our
conferences? Do you love the U.P.? Don't miss out on the chance to present
at our U.P. History Conference this coming June! This weekend is the last
chance for presenter submissions for the 2018 U.P. conference, so please
<http://hsmichigan.org/conferences/session-form/> fill out our presenter
form if you are interested in presenting.

Each year, the Upper Peninsula History Conference Committee begins preparing
for the conference during the fall prior to the event. The committee reviews
a wide variety of session ideas and chooses about 12 to 14 sessions to
include in the conference. 

Please note that this is not an academic conference! Our conference-goers
are generally a mix of professionals and enthusiasts, so we do not accept
presentations that are based solely on the reading of a paper or research
project. Rather, each session should be aimed at an educated lay audience
and include visuals when possible.

 <http://hsmichigan.org/conferences/session-form/> If you have a proposal
and are interested in presenting at the 2018 U.P. History Conference, submit
today!

Looking to present at future conferences? We are also accepting submissions
for our Michigan History Conference in September 2018.
<http://hsmichigan.org/conferences/session-form/> Submit today!

Coming up next with History HoundsT.

Mid-Michigan Modern: From Frank Lloyd Wright to Googie

Wednesday, November 8 - 7 p.m.

http://www.hsmichigan.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/hardhat.jpgIn the
Greater Lansing area, mid-century modernism is seen in examples by
well-known architects, including Frank Lloyd Wright and George Nelson as
well as regional firms. This lecture will explore a range of modern designs
in government, association, and private buildings.

History Hounds is FREE for individual members of HSM. Non-members are
welcome to enjoy a lecture for $7. 

Lectures start at 7 p.m. (unless noted) at the Meijer Education Center at
the Historical Society of Michigan, 5815 Executive Dr., Lansing, Michigan.
The lecture and Q&As usually last about an hour. Seating is limited and
pre-registration is suggested but not required. Walk-ins are welcome. For
in-person attendees, light refreshments will be available.

Participants can "attend" remotely, if they prefer, through Zoom Video
Communications and will be able to interact with the speaker and other
attendees.  <http://hsmichigan.org/programs/history-hounds-lecture-series/>
For more information on our remote access services, see our website.

Interested in Writing for Michigan History?

HSM Magazines is currently looking for writers interested in writing for
Michigan History magazine's two page spread, "Remember the Time." "Remember
the Time" is a reflective, essay-like article reminiscing on personal
memories of the author, ranging from any topic and subject matter within our
writers' guidelines. Each submission should be between 700-1,000 words.
These articles are written from the first-person point of view and focus on
a single event in the author's life, such as an experience or outing from
childhood, college, or work. The memory or event must be Michigan-based and
should take place before 1982.

Please first send a query letter about your article idea. We do not repeat
topics and/or subject matter, and this will prevent your writing an article
that has already been covered in one of HSM's magazines.

 <http://hsmichigan.org/publications/writers-guidelines/> For more
information regarding general writers' guidelines and "Remember the Time,"
check out our website.

All queries and submissions can be emailed to
<mailto:editor at hsmichigan.org> editor at hsmichigan.org.
