Abstract

The Oral History Association invites proposals for papers and presentations for its 1996 annual meeting, to be held October 10–13 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The theme of the meeting is “Oral History, Memory, and the Sense of Place.” Proposals that relate oral history to popular and professional notions of history; the construction of local memories; the relationship between vernacular, covert, or suppressed memories; the importance of locale in shaping community identity; the nature and role of nostalgia in local memories; the uses of memory in heritage‑based tourism; and related topics are especially encouraged. Proposals on other subjects are also welcome.
