ASSOCIATION FOR HISTORY AND COMPUTING
6TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE
ODENSE, DENMARK, AUGUST 28-30, 1991

The Association for History and Computing is an international
organisation which aims to promote and develop interest in the use of
computers in all types of historical study at every level, in both
teaching and research.

The 6th international conference of the AHC in 1991 will be held in
Odense, Denmark, with the Danish Data Archives as the organizing
institution.

The conference will be held at the congress center Hotel H.C.
Andersen, Claus Bergs Gade 7, DK-5000 Odense.

Hotel accommodation will be provided by Odense Kongress Bureau, and on
the registration form you will find the prices for single bedrooms in
three categories. It goes without saying that if you want a double
bedroom, this can be arranged by the bureau.

Odense lies on the island of Funen, which is known for its lovely
countryside and many castles and manor houses. On the second day of the
conference we have arranged a guided tour to start at 3 p.m. The trip
will take us across southern Funen and the island of Taasinge. On the
way we will pay a visit to Egeskov Castle, which was built on a complex
construction of rammed down oak piles and is rising directly from a
lake. It was built in 1550 by the Lord High Constable, Frands
Brockenhuus.
