If you are a public historian, state historian, local historian, or any kind of historian who is interested in state and local history, I encourage you to think about attending the annual meeting of the American Association for State and Local History in Salt Lake City from October 3-6, 2012.
Here are a few things on the program that caught my attention:
- Keynote address by Laurel Thatcher Ulrich
- A workshop on best practices for slavery interpretation
- Religious history tour of Salt Lake City
- Session by Carol Marsh on “empowering small museums on main street USA
- Session by Barbara Franco on the intersection of public and private partnerships
No problem at all, Bob. I will not be able to make it to SLC this year, but I hope to get a chance to attend an AASLH conference in the future. I hope all goes well.

Thanks so much for the plug for the conference this year in SLC. We have worked hard on the program and are pleased that some of the program strikes a chord with you.
Salt Lake City offers some great opportunities for learning and discussion.
Hope to see you there!
