American Spelean History
Association
CALL
FOR PRESENTATIONS
2012 NSS Convention
June 25-29, 2012
Lweisburg, West Virginia
This is a call for presentations for the
Spelean
History Session at the 2012 NSS Convention. The session
provides
a good way to tell other spelean historians what you are doing and to
solicit input to assist your research.
The session is informal and the audience friendly. There are no
requirements to provide fancy visual aids or to provide a written paper
(other than an abstract to include in the Convention Program). Of
course, the editor of the Journal
of Spelean History would be glad to receive any written
papers for publication.
Presentations can be on any topic related to spelean history, including
historical exploration of caves, historical commercial caves, early
cave science, human use of caves, etc.
The session will be chaired by Dean Snyder. However, Dean has rather
erratic e-mail so abstracts should be sent to Bob Hoke, who will get
them to Dean and to the person responsible for the Convention Program.
In addition to the abstract, Bob (or Dean) will need to know the title
of your presentation, the amount of time you will need, and what
audio-visual equipment you will need. Abstracts can be e-mailed to Hoke
at bob@rhoke.net
or mailed to 6304 Kaybro St., Laurel, MD 20707.
Your abstract must be limited to 250 words. Please be sure that is a
summary of your conclusions and results, not merely a statement of what
you are going to talk about. Properly written abstracts will
be
printed in the Journal
of Cave and Karst Studies and the Journal of Spelean History.
If you have any questions about the session please contact Dean Snyder
or Bob Hoke. Dean's address is 3213 Fairland Dr.,
Schnecksville,
PA 18078. His phone is 610-799-5030. Bob’s phone
is 301-725-5877.
The deadline for
receiving abstracts is May 10, 2012.
