REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS: LIBRARY HISTORY SEMINAR XIII (2015)

The Library History Round Table of the American Library Association 
(LHRT) is issuing this Request for Proposals for an institutional host 
for Library History Seminar XIII to take place in the year 2015.
History & Overview
The Library History Seminar (LHS) was established in 1961 and has become 
the most prestigious international conference dedicated to the study of 
the history of librarianship. LHS takes place every five years. The 
Library of Congress (2000) and major research libraries and schools of 
library and in-formation studies, most recently at the University of 
Wisconsin, Madison’s Center for Print Culture, have been LHS hosts.  The 
conference often attracts over 100 scholars from across the United 
States and abroad. Papers from past conferences have been published as a 
special issue of the journals Libraries and Culture, Library Trends, and 
also in monograph form.

The Selection Process
The LHRT Executive Board is charged with selecting a site in the same 
year that the LHS is held. This allows time for the host to gather 
funding, co-sponsors, and complete a proposal. In order to facilitate 
that decision the LHRT Ad Hoc Committee on Library History Seminar XIII 
created this re-quest for proposal document to guide potential hosts. 
The LHRT Executive Board will make the final decision at the ALA 
Midwinter Board meeting in January 2011. Executive Board members will 
select a site primarily based on written proposals received by the deadline.

The host institution finances the Library History Seminar using grants, 
gifts, internal budget allocations and registration fees. Previous 
conferences featured a limited number of scholarships for graduate 
students. LHRT may also provide a small grant for scholarships. It is 
imperative that proposals include information on budgeting the 
conference, and potential sources of funding to make the seminar possible.
LHRT decided at the 2002 Annual and Midwinter meetings to select the 
institutional host on factors besides the conference theme, so this 
section is optional. The Ad Hoc Committee recommends that hosts select a 
theme, but emphasizes that this is an important scholarly forum that 
should provide ample opportunities for historical research presentations 
on other aspects of library history in its widest scope, and encourage 
diversity of speakers in terms of geography, ethnicity, gender and 
subject specialty while also maintaining LHS’s high standards for 
historical research.

Please send your proposal by 31 December 2010 in electronic form (as 
either MS Word attachment or as plain e-mail text) to Melanie Kimball at 
[log in to unmask]
The document should be 2 to 5 pages long.  Proposals will be sent to 
members of the LHRT Executive Committee. Please e-mail any questions to 
Dr. Kimball at the above e-mail address or call (617) 521-2795.
Information on past Library History Seminars is available in Edward 
Goedeken’s “The Library Historian’s Field of Dreams: A Profile of the 
First Nine Seminars,” in Library History Research in America, edited by 
Andrew B. Wertheimer and Donald G. Davis, Jr. (Washington, DC: Center 
for the Book, 2000), 161-172, which also appeared in Libraries and 
Culture 35 (Winter 2000): 161-172.  You may also wish to look at the 
website for the upcoming LHS XII at the University of Wisconsin, 
Madison: http://slisweb.lis.wisc.edu/~printcul/
The application should include the following information:
Proposal to Host Library History Seminar XIII (2015)
Committee Chair:
Name:
Address:
E-mail:
Telephone:
Fax:
Committee Members:
Institutional Sponsor:
Potential Co-sponsors:
Planned number of days:
Proposed dates:
Conference Location:
[Please provide specific details, including whether the conference 
facility would be a private or public space. How many meeting rooms will 
be avail-able for the LHS and specify fees. Please also briefly address 
transportation issues relating to the location (i.e., what is the 
closest major airport and how does one get to/from there and the 
conference location).]
Accommodations:
Please specify what hotel/dormitory facilities are available within 
walking range of the conference location.
Financial and Institutional Support
This section will understandably be rough and tentative, but the 
committee wants to see that the host will be able to arrange clerical 
support to take care of publicity and handle reservations. Please also 
propose an estimated registration fee.
The committee also encourages the host to look for internal/external 
grants to support the seminar. The host will be responsible for securing 
these grants. Grants make it possible to keep registration fees 
affordable, and bring graduate students and keynote speakers. Please 
list possible sources of grants or other income you might approach in 
order to finance the seminar.
Please submit proposals and direct inquiries to:
