CALL FOR PAPERS"Mainers and Their Neighbors Who Went Out into the World"
--where we look at the stories of Northern New England and Maritime people who ventured beyond the region's boundaries. Some, like the Washburn family of Livermore, Maine, found fame and fortune. Most went voluntarily. Many did interesting things.
TO BE HELD AT THE WASHBURN-NORLANDS LIVING HISTORY CENTER
290 Norlands Road, Livermore, ME 04253
June 5 - 7, 2008
The conference is sponsored by the WASHBURN HUMANITIES CENTER in association with the University of Maine at Farmington and St. Michael's College, Vermont.
With this year's broad theme we are seeking the participation of both professional and lay scholars and students from across the spectrum of academic disciplines.
We encourage proposals from new presenters; presenters from previous conferences are encouraged to return, present a paper, and meet old friends.
Previously published material should not be submitted.
Presenters are given two nights lodging and breakfasts free of charge at local homes.
The conference will be held at the Washburn-Norlands Living History Center, a 445 acre site containing a restored one room school house, farmer's cottage, 1885 granite library (housing the extensive Washburn family collections), a 200 seat 1828 Universalist Church, and the 1867 Washburn mansion.
