The third Virginia Forum will convene at the University of Mary
Washington, in Fredericksburg, on April 11-12, 2008.  The Virginia Forum
offers an opportunity for exchanges of ideas among scholars, teachers,
archivists, librarians, museum curators, and all those interested in
Virginia history, environment, and culture.  The Virginia Forum welcomes
proposals for presentations on all topics in Virginia history, but the
centennial of the founding of UMW in 1908 offers a special opportunity
for reconsidering themes related to the history of education and
learning in Virginia.  [To be clear, submissions on all aspects of
Virginia history are encouraged.]  The committee welcomes proposals for
individual papers or complete panel sessions, panel discussions,
workshops, poster sessions, or electronic/multimedia presentations. Send
