> September 99 and
> will overlap with the international annual conference Digital 
> Resources in
> the Humanities. Details on the AHC UK conference can be found at

> We also plan to hold a special meeting in London on Friday 17 
> September,

> meeting, together
> with a round table
> discussion on the 'Future of the AHC and its activities'. We

> We also plan to hold a special AHC session at next year's 
> European Social
> Science History Association conference to be held in 
> Amsterdam in April
> 2000. This is an event that usually attracts more than 1000 social
> scientists and historians, and will provide an excellent

> AAHC annual meeting at Baylor University (Waco, Texas) in April 2000.
