Welcome to the 52nd Annual Meeting of the

History of Economics Society

The Annual Conference of the History of Economics Society is one of the most important international gatherings of historians of economics. The conference provides an opportunity to meet with friends and colleagues, to learn about new research in the field, and to talk with journal and book editors and bloggers.

We are hosting our welcome reception at the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond on the evening of Friday, June 27. Our 52nd Annual Meeting will take place June 28-30 at the University of Richmond, Virginia.
