Organized in 1975, the Economic and Business Historical Society encourages interdisciplinary scholarship in the areas of business and economic history and the application of historical perspectives to current issues. The membership includes historians, economists, business professionals, social scientists, and others who share these common interests. Members are located throughout the United States, Canada, Western Europe, and the Far East. ANNUAL
CONFERENCES The Economic and Business Historical Society holds its three-day annual conference during late April. Members and friends are invited to attend and participate through presenting papers, entering into discussions on a wide range of topics and joining tours of business or historical sights in the area. A prominent part of each conference is the annual banquet held Friday evening of each conference. Each year a widely recognized speaker is invited to present the address. The annual meeting also provides an opportunity for friends to informally discuss topics pertinent to their shared interests. THE
