The Institute of Historical Research

The Institute of Historical Research (London) is offering a short course, 'Historic Maps: Interpreting Stories of Place,' from 28 to 30 January, 2026. Understanding a map not only depends on reading it well but also on how and, most importantly, why it was created. This new Historic Maps Discovery Training will cover large-scale local maps of both urban and rural areas, considering genres such as estate plans, town plans and national cartographic projects of the nineteenth century (i.e. the Ordnance Survey).

Participation in the Seminar consists of group discussion of pre-circulated papers, typically drafts of articles, book chapters, or dissertation chapters (with complete apparatus). Two of the papers are ordinarily by emerging scholars (including PhD students) and the other two are by established scholars. We allocate one hour per paper and presenters should anticipate substantial, and substantive, feedback.

Other attractions and historical sites include Mission San Francisco de Asís, the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz Island, the Victorian and Edwardian houses on "Postcard Row," Fisherman's Wharf, and the city's famed cable cars.

International Water Association (IWA)

The 6th IWA Water and Wastewater Technologies in Ancient Civilisations International Symposium will take place in the picturesque location of Naples (Italy) in February 2026. In our symposia, historians, archaeologists, engineers, water utility managers, heritage conservationists, and geology and speleology scientists construct a lively dialogue on water technologies from the ancient and recent past. The conference, organised by the IWA specialist group on ancient water technologies, aims at shaping a common water culture that can inspire new generations and future applications.

This conference focuses on the theme of Algeria’s foreign relations during the Modern Period (1520–1830 / 926–1246 AH). It addresses an important issue in modern history, namely the history of Algeria’s external relations—political, military, economic, social, and cultural—at both the regional and international levels. These relations were complex and intertwined, shaped by multiple factors and circumstances of the time, oscillating between friendship, cooperation, and integration on the one hand, and rivalry and conflict on the other.

The conference is part of the EU-funded project Virtual Worlds in Teaching Archaeology, a cooperation partnership of the Universities of Amsterdam, Bonn, Oslo as well as the Open Universiteit.

Digital methods of documentation in research and teaching are becoming increasingly important for archaeology as a material and object-based discipline. In research these new tools and technologies enable new, extensive insights and improve our understanding of past societies. In teaching and education 3D models and Virtual Reality allow students to further engage and comprehend with human heritage regardless of restricting factors like location, time, and expenses. We are happy to announce our upcoming conference on “3D and Virtual Reality in Archaeology. New Applications and Good Practice in Teaching and Research” that will take place from the 27th to the 29th of May 2026 in Bonn and online.

European Association of Archaeologists (EAA)

By connecting international delegates with the local community of archaeologists, both will highly benefit by the knowledge transfer, networking, and professional development opportunities that the EAA Annual Meeting in Athens has to offer.

Common Ground Research Networks

Founded in 2008, The Inclusive Museum Research Network is brought together by a shared concern for the future role of the museum and how it can become more inclusive. We seek to build an epistemic community where we can make linkages across disciplinary, geographic, and cultural boundaries. As a Research Network, we are defined by our scope and concerns and motivated to build strategies for action framed by our shared themes and tensions.
