MARK YOUR CALENDARS

The twelfth annual conference of the Program in Early American Economy
and Society of the Library Company of Philadelphia, co-sponsored with
The Rothschild Archive, London, will be held Thursday and Friday,
October 11-12, 2012. The keynote address on Thursday by Emma
Rothschild of Harvard University, followed by a number of papers on
Friday by established scholars, together will explore how foreign
networks of individuals and institutions provided funds, credit, and
knowledge to North Americans during a heady period of transnational
investment and development. Papers will also reflect on the rich
resources abroad for doing future research on these themes. For
