2010 New Mexico History Conference

The Historical Society of New Mexico invites proposals for papers and presentations for the 2010 New Mexico History Conference, to be held in Lea County, New Mexico, April 29-May 2, 2010. The 2010 conference will utilize facilities at the Lea County Special Events Center in Hobbs, as well as the Lea County Historical Museum in nearby Lovington. 

Conference sessions are 1½ hours in length. Most sessions will consist of oral delivery of three papers or presentations, each approximately 20 minutes in length, along with the moderator's introduction and questions from the audience. Conference sessions will occur both morning and afternoon on Friday, April 30 and Saturday morning, May 1; proposers should be prepared to present at any of those times, as determined by the program committee. 

The Program Committee also invites proposals for special topical sessions occupying the full 1½ hour period. Proposals for such sessions should include names, topics, and contact information for all panel members. 

Topics on any aspect of the history of New Mexico and the Southwest are welcome. While the range of possible topics is not limited, topics relating to the history of southeastern New Mexico and the Permian Basin region of West Texas and eastern New Mexico are especially invited. 

Presenters must register as conference participants. Digital projection systems and other usual audiovisual presentation equipment will be available.
