The Alabama Historical Association invites paper proposals to be given at its 77th Annual Meeting in Opelika, Alabama, on April 9-11, 2025.  This meeting is open to scholars, educators, public historians, students, local historians, and members of the general public who share an interest in the history of Alabama.

Proposals must include a one-page abstract of a 20-minute presentation in one of two categories:

  • Traditional presentation – original research, often based in primary sources, in Alabama history;
  • Public history – projects related to archival practice, exhibit curation, or creative dissemination of Alabama history content.

Proposals must be submitted electronically by October 1, 2024.
Submit here ➡️  aub.ie/AHACFP

All presenters are required to register for the conference and be members in good standing of the Alabama Historical Association by the time of the annual meeting.  The committee gives preference to presenters who have not given papers at an annual meeting within the past three years.
