The 2010 annual meeting of the SCHA will be held  March 6^th 2010, at the Archives and History Center, Department of Archives and History, 8301 Parklane Road, Columbia, SC  29223.

The South Carolina Historical Association invites proposals for papers to be presented at its next annual meeting, which will take place on 6 March 2010 in Columbia, SC at the South Carolina Department of Archives and History.  Although the organizers welcome papers about the Palmetto State and the larger American past, they especially encourage topics about other parts of the world to include European, African, Middle Eastern, and Asian from Ancient to Modern times.  Proposals for complete sessions should include preferably three, but no more than four papers. Presentations are limited to twenty minutes.  Papers presented at the annual meeting - after subsequently undergoing peer review - are eligible for publication in the Association's journal Proceedings. Undergraduate students and their faculty mentors are welcome, and will be grouped in separate sessions to the greatest extent possible. All participants must be members of the SCHA.  (See http://www.palmettohistory.org/scha/scha.htm for details about joining.)  Send proposals and c.v. electronically to Dr. Kevin B. Witherspoon at kwitherspoon@lander.edu or by mail to: Department of History & Philosophy, Lander University, Greenwood, SC 29649. 

Deadline for proposals is 1 January.  Deadline for submitting papers to session chairs is 31 January.
