The conference is fast approaching and we are very excited about this year's programme and the wide variety of topics covered by this year's presenters.

Dr. Catherine Carstairs of the University of Guelph will deliver the keynote address entitled: "Digging for Drugs in Documents and Departments?" at a reception on Friday evening. Dr. Carstairs is an expert in post-1945 Canadian social history, with a particular specialty in the history of gender, moral regulation, and legal and illegal drugs.

A draft of the conference programme is now available and will be updated throughout the coming week.
