From the President
This my second report to IOHA members and other readers of the IOHA newsletter. In my first report in October 2006 I noted that the next (and 15th) International Oral History Conference would be held at the University of Guadalajara in September 2008. Since my last report IOHA Council members and colleagues at the University of Guadalajara and in the Mexican Oral History Association (co-sponsors of the conference) have been busy with conference preparations. The conference website and Call for Papers is now available on line (at www.congresoioha2008.cucsh.udg.mx). I urge you to propose a paper or organise a thematic panel at the conference, and to start saving now towards your attendance (conference and accommodation costs will be very reasonable, but international flights to Mexico are not cheap).
