== About the Conference ==
Scientific historical research aims at constructing an image of the past
which comprises more than the sum of the historical events that serve as
its basic material. Historical researchers, therefore, have much to gain
from instruments that can be used to extract structures from the
contingencies of historical events. The IX AHC Conference will offer a
platform to all those who can contribute towards the unravelling of the
problem of historical 'structures and contingencies' with help of a
computer.
The Conference includes main sessions, special sessions, project
presentations and demonstrations all related to one of the following
themes:
- Computer structures, computer software and historical research
- Structuring historical data
- The dynamics of historical structures
- Structuring data-processing
- The study of historical structures
A selection of already proposed papers is shown on the backside of this
brochure.
Conference language will be English.
== Registration procedures ==
Proposals for sessions, papers and other contributions are invited for
main sessions (30 min. reading time), special sessions (20 min. reading
time), project presentations (10 min. reading time) and demonstrations
all related to one of the themes mentioned above. A one-page abstract
should be forwarded before March 31, 1994. The deadline for final
registration, including hotel booking, is July 1, 1994.
The normal registration fee for the Conference is Dfl. 325, however there
