The East Texas Historical Association invites proposals for papers and sessions for its annual fall meeting to be held in Nacogdoches, TX from September 24-26, 2009 at The Fredonia Hotel, downtown in the "Oldest Town in Texas."

Topics that cover all aspects of East Texas' regional heritage and history receive preference, but any proposal that deals with Texas history is welcome . The Association prefers the submission of complete sessions(presider and three presenters or presider/commentator and two presenters), but individual submissions are also encouraged.
