World History Association Conference 2012

Last week Humphrey attended the World History Association conference in Albuquerque, New Mexico in the United States. It took place on the 27th to the 30th of June and had two themes “Frontiers and Borders in World History" and "Indigenous Peoples in World History”. This meeting acts as an opportunity for the discussion of history across regional, cultural and political boundaries by an international community.

On the Saturday morning Humphrey presented a paper entitled "Finding and Referencing Old Maps Online" in a session about "Creating and Displaying World Historical Data". For more details of the conference please see here.
