Dear Colleagues, Please join us for a conference designed to bring together the archivists who take care of banking and financial history materials and the historians who use those materials: Innovative Solutions for Archives and Financial Crises<https://research.stlouisfed.org/conferences/innovative-solutions-for-archives/>. The conference, hosted by the eabh<http://bankinghistory.org/> & St. Louis Fed, will take place on May 11-12, 2017 in St. Louis, Missouri. On May 11, archivists will present innovations in archival work, including bank and central bank archives. On May 12, financial historians will present their research based on materials from bank and central bank archives. The conference will provide both archivists and historians the opportunity to learn about the unique materials held in central bank archives, the current state of archival work, and insights into how scholars use these collections. Confirmed speakers include Jefferson Bailey (Internet Archive), Laura Linard (Harvard), Harold James (Princeton/IMF Historian), and Gary Richardson (University of California-Irvine and former Federal Reserve System Historian).
