Description
The IHR and British Group of Early American Historians (BGEAH) invite you to attend the 2^nd annual Early American History conference for postgraduate researchers and early career academics working on any facet of American or Atlantic history from the seventeenth century through to the American Civil War, to discuss ideas amongst your peers and, where appropriate, to assess the current state of early American research in Britain.
London, with its unique colonial archival resources and lively research student populati­­on, is one of the leading centres of early American scholarship in Europe, and the IHR is a natural location for this event. The IHR Library’s North American Room houses one of the foremost UK collections of published material relating to the early history of the United States, Caribbean, and Canada.
