We would love to highlight Philadelphia-area sites on the travel guide, ready for the Three Societies conference in July, and so we are putting out a call for articles. Articles need to be about 500-1000 words long and we have a guide for contributors which provides full guidance for potential authors
We have had the following sites suggested, but would be glad to receive more:
Franklin InstituteRittenhouse- Mutter Museum
- Site of American 1876 Centennial
Grave of mathematician Emmy NoetherMonument to Joseph PriestlyMonument to Copernicus- Statue of Alexander Humboldt
- Wagner Free Institute
- Pennsylvania Hospital
- American Philosophical Society
- Academy of Natural Sciences
- Sproul Telescope, Swarthmore College
The ED Cope residenceEastern State Penitentiary
Any help in publicising this call for articles, and spreading the word generally, would be most gratefully received. Or if you have any suitable material that we could republish, that would also be great. If you require any further help, please do not hesitate to get in touch and email publicity@bshs.org.uk.
In order to get the articles online before the conference, our deadline is Friday 15th June although we can be a little flexible about this if needs be.
