The Executive Board has voted

We on the Executive Board apologize for the delay in reaching a decision, but had to balance three very fine proposals this year. The shame is that we could only select one site.

The majority favored the proposal by the University of Wisconsin - Madison. Each of the sites was notified by e-mail today of the decision.

The LHRT greatly appreciates all of the work by each of the three potential hosts. This is the first time in the history of the seminar that we had such competition for a site. It is a good sign for the future of research on library and print culture history.

We will look forward to sharing our research findings on the shores of Lake Mendota in the fall of 2010.
