Last summer's conference in Cedar Rapids was a fine event. Volunteers are
working hard to get ready for this summer's conference in Lincoln, Nebraska.
We know the website is not ready with all the good info....yet.
You will get an email much like this when the website is ready to be viewed
and consider all the options for this summer's conference. For now, block
out July 24-27 and plan to go to Lincoln, NE.
The biggest part of any CSVHFS is papers and presentations where members
share interesting content with the conference attendees. With that in mind,
I am relaying the call for papers (and presentations) below.
