Bob Williams, one of the organizers, has asked me to forward this and would love to see some historians there. The event features at least one SIGCIS member, Andy Russell, but will be of the greatest appeal to those with a specific interest in the history of information science. Registration is a little high –early bird is $240 for student non members, $315 for other non members, but if you scroll below you will see another message about $200 travel awards for interested students which could be helpful (though you would have to join ASIS&T to apply).<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Tom<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> WILLIAMS, ROBERT [mailto:BOBWILL@mailbox.sc.edu] <br><b>Sent:</b> Monday, August 27, 2012 1:56 PM<br><b>To:</b> 'Thomas Haigh'<br><b>Subject:</b> please post to the SHOT group et. al.<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Tom: Please post the information below to the SHOT group and any others you can think of that might be relevant.
