Conference Arrangements

There is no registration fee for this conference. However, the Council and the Executive Board of the Omohundro Institute of Early American History and Culture ask that everyone at the associate professor rank and above consider making a voluntary, taxdeductible donation to help defray the costs of the meeting. You may do so when you register for the conference online at http://oieahc.wm.edu/conferences/annual/index.html or by using the Conference Registration Form in this brochure. The Institute is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, tax identification number 54-1045628. You will receive a receipt acknowledging your contribution.

Most conference sessions will take place at Suffolk University Law School’s David J. Sargent Hall, 120 Tremont Street. Conference attendees staying on campus will be lodged at the Nathan R. Miller Residence Hall, 10 Somerset Street.
