The Library History Round Table (LHRT) of the American Library Association (ALA) is pleased to announce our 15th Library History Seminar (LHS) and we'd like to offer you an opportunity to share your research!
LHS XV will take place virtually December 3-5, 2026.
The theme is "A History of Modern Libraries, Warts and All: Development, Organization, and Transformation."
The American Library Association is celebrating its 150th year in 2026 and LHS XV seeks to explore all aspects of the history of modern libraries and librarianship in North America and beyond. "Libraries" is defined broadly and includes public, academic, school and special libraries, library organizations (state, national, and international). We especially welcome voices from marginalized and non-mainstream communities, and critical examinations of the history of modern libraries/librarianship.
The conference will be low-cost or no-cost for attendees. For more information and to submit your proposal, please go to Library History Seminar XV CFP/Submission Form
