ONE CONFERENCE — TWO LOCATIONS — THREE THEMES
The 10th World Congress of Accounting Historians will meet in the
USA with a dual venue of St. Louis, MO, and Oxford, MS, from Au-gust
1-5, 2004. The Congress will commence in St. Louis on August 1
to celebrate the centenary of the first International Congress of Ac-countants
that was held in St. Louis in 1904 as a part of the World’s
Fair commemorating the Louisiana Purchase and Lewis & Clark Ex-pedition.
Sessions will be held at the St. Louis Mercantile Library,
which was founded in 1846. The headquarters hotel will be the Ren-aissance
Airport Hotel. The Congress will then move by air-conditioned
motor coaches to Oxford, MS, on August 3 to give dele-gates
an opportunity to visit the National Library of the Accounting
Profession at the University of Mississippi. The Ole Miss Library is
the largest accountancy library in the world. The Alumni House Hotel
will be the Congress headquarters. There will be activities during the
motor coach trip devoted to accounting history topics, such as featured
speakers and videotapes. After the Congress, delegates may proceed to
Orlando, FL, for the American Accounting Association meetings. It
may be most convenient to continue your post-Congress air travel
from nearby Memphis International Airport.
Papers are invited on any accounting history topic. Papers that ad-dress
any of the three Congress themes are particularly desired. The
three Congress themes are:
1. International Congresses of Accountants
2. Accounting for Transportation and Financial Industries
3. Archival-Based Accounting Research
