With them a team of eight other officials started their mandate. We wish them all good luck and fun during their term, and are very sure they will do a great job running ISHA. The first official event where you can meet the new officials is at the 21st International Congress of Historical Sciences, taking place in Amsterdam from 22 to 28 August. There ISHA is present together with historians from all over the world to discuss history in all its facets and to promote ISHA on a global scale.

We would like to thank all of you who have been working together with us in the last year, it has been a great experience for us and for ISHA.

Yours historically,
on behalf of all officials 2009-2010,

Frerik Kampman, president 2009-2010
Elsa Mäki-Reinikka, secretary 2009-2010

In August 2010 the biggest event of the academic world of historians will take place in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. The International Congress of Historical Sciences meets there for the 21st time in history, after it started in 1900 and convenes every 5 years. ISHA will be present at this conference with two sessions, the so-called 'Historians Toolkit Sessions', for which all participants in the conference are invited. Also, we would like to have as many students in the conference as possible, and we are very happy to announce that the organization of the ICHS made it now possible for students to join for a fee of 50 euro. For this money you can meet your all time favourite historians in the many sessions of the conference, which you can see in the agenda of the week. All you need to do is apply with the documents you will find when clicking 'read more'.
