NCPH Election Results
Their terms start on April 22, but join us in welcoming Patrick Moore to the position of Vice President/President-Elect, Dee Harris, Mary Rizzo, and Jennifer Ross-Nazzal to the Board of Directors, and Sheila Brennan and Joan Zenzen to the Nominating Committee.
Journal Transition
For nearly three years, NCPH and the History Department at the University of California Santa Barbara (UCSB) have been in ongoing negotiations about the future of the editorial offices of the journal, The Public Historian. TPH was founded at UCSB in 1978 and has been edited there ever since. It is published by the University of California Press for UCSB and the NCPH. NCPH has a publishing contract with UC Press and UCSB, as well as a separate contract with UCSB for housing the editorial office. The NCPH leadership is in ongoing negotiations with all parties. At the same time, NCPH has been discussing with other institutions the possibility of moving the journal or starting a new publication. The process is complicated, and all involved are working hard to achieve a resolution that has the best interests of the public history field at heart. When we know more, we will share the news.

Annual Meeting--Milwaukee
In our joint meeting with the Organization of American Historians this April 18-22, there will be far more opportunities for members of each group than either the OAH or NCPH could ever provide on its own. Take advantage of two major conferences in one!
“Public History Commons”
NCPH meetings typically are 500-600 people; OAH meetings are 1800-2200. To help preserve some of the advantages of the casual scale of an NCPH conference, we will be creating a central meeting spot called the “Public History Commons.” (Learn more about it on p. 16 of the Program.) Located in the front of the exhibit hall and adjacent to the registration area, the Commons is a lounge space open to public historians as an informal or formal venue to gather with friends, colleagues, project teams, fellow panelists, or committees. This is the place to be!
Program in Print and Online
A PDF of the full conference Program is at http://annualmeeting.oah.org/library/2012program.pdf . Members of both organizations received paper copies by mail in January.

- “Valuing and Pricing the Work of Historical Consultants” – Thurs., 4/19
- “A Different Kind of History: Historians In The Legal Arena” – Fri., 4/20
- “How Much Is a Piece of the "True Road" Worth? Evaluating Historic Roadway and Preservation Value” – Sat., 4/21
