MARION DEAN ROSS/PACIFIC NORTHWEST CHAPTER
BOISE, IDAHO – OCTOBER 7-9, 2011

Abstracts or proposals for papers or 
work-in-progress reports are solicited for the 
2011 annual meeting of the Marion Dean 
Ross/Pacific Northwest Chapter of the Society of 
Architectural Historians. This year’s meeting 
will be held in Downtown Boise, Idaho. Known as 
the “City of Trees,” Boise is the state’s largest 
city within one of the fastest growing metropolitan areas in the Northwest.

This year’s theme is “Taming the West: Changing 
Landscapes and Resource Extraction. Submissions 
for the conference may address reclamation sites 
(dams, canals, etc), mining sites, forest/timber, 
recreation sites (primarily US Forest Service), 
or military facilities.  These topics will be given first priority.

Other proposals addressing any aspect of the 
built environment from any time period or place 
are also welcome.  All abstracts adhering to the 
submission guidelines listed below will be given 
a fair assessment. Graduate students and advanced 
undergraduates in fields related to the built 
environment are particularly welcome to present 
at the conference. Membership in the Marion Dean 
Ross/Pacific Northwest Chapter of the Society of 
Architectural Historians is not required for 
abstract submission, although everyone chosen for 
presentation will be asked to contribute chapter dues for the current year.

Submission Guidelines: The abstract should be no 
more than 500 words, and should fit onto a 
single-sided page. On a separate single page, 
include the author’s name, address, telephone 
number, and e-mail address with a brief, 100-200 
word paragraph biography or one-page curriculum 
vitae. Abstracts are due on or before May 14, 
2011, and authors of papers chosen for 
presentation will be notified by June 13, 2011. 
Registration fees apply. Please indicate in your 
abstract whether you intend to deliver a 
twenty-minute paper or a ten-minute 
work-in-progress report. Ideally, the papers or 
work-in-progress reports delivered at the 
conference should be analytical or critical in 
nature, rather than descriptive and aim to make 
an original contribution. Completed manuscripts 
of accepted papers must be submitted in full to
