The society brings together postgraduates and more established academics who study the first world war. We have more than 200 members in Europe, North America and Australasia. The society was founded in 2001 following a conference held in Lyons. Since then, further conferences have been held in Oxford and Dublin. Our most recent meeting was held in Washington DC in October 2007. Our next conference will be held in London in September 2009.
The next step for the society
Since 2007 we have been steadily working to formalize the organization of the society. The first stage was to ask our existing members to pay a subscription fee and to establish this website. We are now asking members to pay an annual fee to cover the current calendar year.
You can find out more about other members of the society in the section dedicated to Members’ CVs. Please do send us your own CV or a link to your personal section of your departmental website, so that we can develop a directory of our members. Email: CV[at]firstworldwarstudies[dot]org.
Postgraduate students, who are not always afforded space on their university department’s website, may find this function particularly useful.
