Dear Member of The Cliometric Society:
Spring is upon us, which means that it is time for the annual call for membership renewal. If you would like to renew your membership online, you can do so at https://certainregister.uwlax.edu/ei/getdemo.ei?id=13&s=_4880X0FKZ. You will also be able to add membership in the EHES, subscribe to Explorations in Economic History and/or Cliometrica, vote for new members of the Clio Board of Trustees, and nominate individuals for consideration for election to the board in 2013. In addition, during this year of our 50th anniversary celebration, you may order commemorative Clio tee shirts. While you may renew your membership at any time, voting for the Board of Trustees will end on May 1st. Timely renewal allows you to receive your newsletters and journals without interruptions.
The membership renewal system is housed on a secure server at the University of Wisconsin – La Crosse. If you prefer to renew via mail or fax there is an option to print out the registration form (click for printable pdf form). You will receive a confirmation email with the total amount to be charged to your credit card after you have finished the renewal process. If you renew by mail or fax and provide an email address, your receipt will be emailed to you. Note that if you vote by mail or fax your renewal must be postmarked by May 1st in order for your trustee ballot to be counted.
Membership Services and Options:
Membership Types: Please remember that “Student” pertains to undergraduate and graduate students only.
Explorations in Economic History: Cliometric Society members receive a discount over the personal subscription rate, and your savings on a subscription is more than your Clio dues! (Please note that we can accept only one-year subscriptions to the journal.)
Editorial Board members receive complimentary subscriptions. If you are currently a member of the editorial board of EEH, please note this information on your membership renewal form.
Dual Membership in EHES: Joint membership in the European Historical Economics Society is again available this year. You can renew or establish membership in both organizations with one membership form and one payment. EHES membership includes a one-year subscription to the journal European Review of Economic History, published three times per year.
Updating Membership Information:
Membership Renewal: Membership renewal will only update your contact information. In order to update your research interest data you will need to access the Master Directory at EH.Net.
Master Directory and Update Form: The EH.Net web site offers a master directory, which contains entries for members of The Cliometric Society and other professional societies. You can search the entire directory by member name, affiliation, or other information.
The EH.Net directory can also be searched by association or research code to locate others with shared interests. If you have not yet filled in your Research Interest Codes, we encourage you to do so. This search capability will be very helpful to members who would like to locate others for research assistance, feedback on projects or papers, or even potential collaboration. It will also allow scholars who are new to the field to find established researchers in their areas of interest.
Donations:
Although dues do not cover the expenses of the Cliometric Society, our goal is to keep membership affordable for students and young scholars new to the profession. Therefore, we rely on donations to balance our budget. As in the past, we offer a “Sustaining Membership” category, which includes a $20 tax-deductible contribution. For those of you who can afford to make a larger contribution, there is space on the membership form where you can fill in the amount of your donation. We will gladly – and promptly – provide receipts for donations.
Other Information:
Please note that in addition to your membership renewal there is an election for new members of the Cliometric Society Board of Trustees. Please vote for two trustees for the 2013-16 terms. Also please write in your nominations for future Trustees. According to the By-Laws, “Trustees shall not be eligible for re-election to consecutive four-year terms.”
• Journals – In addition to Explorations in Economic History, and European Review of Economic History, available through joint membership with EHES (see above), members may subscribe to Cliometrica.
Sincerely,
Michael J. Haupert
Executive Director
Explorations in Economic History
The Cliometric Society provides members with the opportunity to subscribe to Explorations in Economic History, published by Elsevier and edited by Robert Margo (Boston University). Explorations in Economic History publishes a wide range of articles that apply economic models and quantitative techniques to historical economies. The journal has a tradition of innovative applications of both economic theory and quantitative techniques, and it explores all aspects of economic and institutional change, all historical periods, all geographical locations, and all political and social systems. The editor welcomes submissions on these topics. Articles will be subject to the journal's peer review process. From time to time the journal publishes "special issues" devoted to specific topics. Scholars interested in putting together a special issue are invited to query the editor. Special issues are subject to the same peer review process as regular issues.
Cliometrica - Journal of Historical Economics and Econometric History
The Association Française de Cliometrie, with support from The Cliometric Society, sponsors Cliometrica, published by Springer-Verlag and edited by Claude Diebolt provides a leading forum for the exchange of ideas and research in all facets, in all historical periods and in all geographical locations of historical economics. The journal encourages the methodological debate, the use of economic theory in general and model building in particular, the reliance upon quantification to buttress the models with historical data, the use of the more standard historical knowledge to broaden the understanding and suggesting new avenues of research, and the use of statistical theory and econometrics to combine models with data in a single consistent explanation. The highest standards of quality are promoted. All articles will be subject to Cliometrica's peer review process. On occasion, specialised topics may be presented in a special issue.
European Historical Economics Society
The European Historical Economics Society has been registered since 1995 with the Charity Commissioners for England and Wales and is concerned with the advancement of education in European Economic History through the study of European economies and economic history. It is also concerned with disseminating learning by holding conferences and summer schools and through the Society journal, the European Review of Economic History.
