The
Economic and Business Historical Society (EBHS), established
in 1975
promotes economic and business historical research and
teaching at annual conferences where scholars open their
research for discussion.
Papers read at EBHS meetings may be offered for publication
in the society's refereed journal Essays in Economic and
Business History: The
Journal of the Economic and Business Historical Society.
Society members have a remarkable record for turning
research first presented at EBHS sessions into scholarly books
or contributions to edited
volumes.
The
Economic and Business Historical Society is unique among
scholarly associations in the
social sciences. Economic historians based
in colleges of liberal arts affiliate with historical
societies and
those in business schools participate in economic history
organizations. These
disparate groups with common stakes in economic and
business history mingle at EBHS forums with independent
scholars who share
similar interests; all broaden their base of knowledge in
an environment of give and take
as uncommon expectations collide with accepted
dogma and participants sample ideas from diverse academic
and nonacademic cultures.
English
is the language of EBHS meetings and
publications. International scholars conversant in English are
encouraged to participate in
the functions of EBHS and to join the organization.
The
EBHS, a nonprofit organization financed solely through
membership dues and fees, is open to scholars of economic and
business history without regard
to age, race, gender, physical disability,
or national origin. As you browse the EBHS web site for
a view of the workings of a
distinctive community of scholars, remember
that the Economic and Business Historical Society is open to
both new participants and new
ideas.
