This concerns the one-day symposium to be held at Greenwich on 7 May 2010,
as outlined in the posting [10089] by Richard Dunn.

At the last such meeting, a couple of years ago, several Navlist members
were present, and some new friendships were struck.

I certainly intend to be there next May, and hope that a number of Navlist
members, from the old-world and perhaps a few from the new, will attend
again. It will be interesting to see the program, when submitted papers have
been assessed for inclusion.

It might make sense, if no date has yet been set for a Mystic meeting next
year, to avoid a clash, if possible.

George.

A Sense of Direction - New Researches in the History of Navigation
National Maritime Museum, Greenwich, London
Friday 7 May 2010

In collaboration with the Royal Institute of Navigation, the National
Maritime Museum is hosting a one-day symposium to showcase new research
in the history of navigation.

The aim of the symposium is to bring together researchers engaged in
research relating to the history of navigation in order to map out the
current state of research and to discuss new directions for the future.

Proposals for papers on any historical period are welcome. Possible
themes might include, but would not be restricted to:

- the development of navigational instruments, maps and charts and
related techniques
- the links between marine, land, air and space navigation
- navigation as a profession
- navigation in different cultures and the exchange of knowledge as a
result of cultural encounters
- the historical relationship between theory and practice
- navigational training
- new perspectives on established histories of the subject

It is anticipated that speaking slots will be of about 30 minutes,
including time for questions.

To propose a paper for consideration, or for further information, please
send the title and abstract (approximately 200 words) to
Research Administrator
National Maritime Museum

London SE10 9NF

Tel 020 8312 6716
Fax 020 8312 6592
E-mail research@nmm.ac.uk 

The deadline for the receipt of proposals is 30 November 2009.
