We welcome proposals from the allied disciplines and comparative studies; in short, we offer a platform for research into the revolutionary era broadly defined. The 2009 conference will be held February 19-21 at the Savannah DeSoto Hilton located in the heart of the historic district of Georgia's First City. It is conveniently located to allow enjoyment of the pedestrian tourism for which Savannah is renowned. The hotel is easy walking distance of the historic squares originally laid out by General Oglethorpe in the 1730's, City Market, and many excellent restaurants. Savannah-Hilton Head International Airport is served by AirTran, American Eagle, Continental Express, Delta, Northwest, United Express, and US Airways. The airport also features a variety of commercial shuttles and full taxi service into Savannah.
