CISH Congress 2005: The International Committee for Historical Sciences (ICHA/CISH) is an umbrella body which groups national associations of historians from all over the world. Every five years it holds an international congress. The next congress, to be held from 3-9 July 2005, will be hosted by the Australian Historical Association at the University of New south Wales, Sydney.

Update from Professor Martyn Lyons, President of the Organising Committee:

The Organising Committee has been restructured and now consists of::-

Professor Martyn Lyons (UNSW), President
Professor Jill Roe (Macquarie) for the AHA
Professor Stephen Garton (Sydney)                    
A/Professor Robert Aldrich (Sydney)
Dr Robert Lee (UWS-Macarthur)                    
Dr Bruce Scates (UNSW)
Dr Ludmila Stern (UNSW)
A/Professor John Gascoigne for the School of History, UNSW
Professor Roger Bell (UNSW)
Alan Ventress, Associate Director, NSW State Records Authority Elizabeth Ellis, Mitchell Librarian, State Library of NSW Dr Jane Connors, ABC Radio Social History Unit

Planning for the 2005 Congress at the University of New South Wales is now well under way. A professional organiser, AIDA Corporate Events, has been appointed, and the organising committee has allocated 'portfolios' to its sub-committees. Martyn Lyons will make a presentation about the Congress at the Brisbane conference of the AHA in July 2002.

The Academic Programme: The CISH secretariat in Montréal received a total of 265 panel proposals from all over the world, which is encouraging because it suggests that a large number of delegates want to come to the Congress. However, there are bound to be some disappointments, as only about 50 panel proposals in all will be accepted, either as Major Themes, Specialised Sessions or Round Tables. The final choice will be made by the General Assembly of CISH, meeting in Amsterdam early in September. Inside information suggests to me that several of our own proposals will 'get up', in one form or another, and that the three Major Themes of the Congress may include 'Man and Nature in History', 'Foundation Myths in History and the Construction of Identities', and 'War, Peace and Justice in History'.

Sponsorship: The Congress will be supported by UNSW, the New South Wales Ministry of the Arts and the New South Wales State Records Authority. The Premier, the Rt. Hon. Bob Carr, has agreed in principle to address the opening session of the Congress. The search for further sponsorship continues.

CISH Bureau Visit 2003: the 'bureau restreint' of CISH (President, Secretary-General and Treasurer) will visit Sydney in 2003 to review preparations and consult thte organising committee. A reception in the Ministry of the Arts is envisaged in their honour and, according to CISH's customary practice, a half-day symposium will be organised to allow them to meet some young Australian historians (to be invited by the organising committee).
