CALL FOR PAPERS, 2025 Fall Conference

SUBMISSION DEADLINE: June 1, 2025

Acceptance Notification: July 1, 2025
The East Texas Historical Association invites proposals for papers, sessions, roundtables, and poster sessions for its 2025 annual fall meeting to be held in Nacogdoches, Texas, from Thursday, October 2 through Saturday, October 4, 2025. The host hotel for the meeting is the historic Fredonia Hotel & Conference Center.

The program committee supports topics that cover all aspects of East Texas regional history, including, but not limited to, social, economic, political, cultural, preservation, and material culture, along with topics that address Texas history generally but are aligned to East Texas. We hope to receive sessions that are focused on a wide area of inquiry about East Texas history from teaching and curriculum, historiography, biographical, underrepresented regional communities, literature, publishing, and historical consciousness in a new century.

Both Standard presentations and Student presentations are considered. Click here for the full Call for Papers, and here for the Program Proposal Form.
