Return to History as Cocaine, the 2006 OAH/NCPH Annual Meeting |
More than 2,400 OAH and National Council on Public History members made their way to Washington last month for the joint meeting the two organizations host every four years. The good news was the glorious spring weather on the first two days. The bad news was the glorious spring weather on the first two days. Many historians played hooky and took advantage of the sunshine in the nation's capital. But the rain on Friday and Saturday filled session rooms and crowded the exhibit hall. There was plenty of historic fare upon which to feast. University professors, public historians, and high school teachers joined colleagues from two- and four-year colleges, to sample the latest research, teaching strategies, and presentation techniques.
Long lines in the registration area moved quickly as the more than 2400 attendees picked up badges and registration materials.
Receptions provided an opportunity for all attendees, both young and not so young, to socialize.
Over one hundred exhibitors were on hand in the exhbit hall.
