ANST - Texas Medieval Association

Sun Sep 7 15:47:43 PDT 1997

Membership in the Texas Medieval Association is available to teachers,
students and members of the general public interested in medieval topics.

The annual membership fee is currently $15 for faculty and professionals
and $10 for students, payable each calendar year. 

Applications for membership should be addressed to Don Kagay, Department of
History, Albany State College, Albany, GA 31705. 

Their upcoming conference occurs next weekend.  Aside from possible
interest in attending the conference (and I am thinking about going), I see
some ideas for structuring our Symposia here as well.  I like the topical
sessions.
