It was wonderful to see folks at the SOHA 2022 conference in Vegas. We missed those who could not make it.
We thank and recognize our generous sponsors of SOHA 2022, which includes the UNLV University Libraries, UNLV College of Liberal Arts, and the UNLV Department of History. We appreciate all the donors to the silent auction and everyone who contributed to the conference and supports SOHA.
If you attended the SOHA 2022 conference, please remember to take the attendees' survey and encourage others to complete it. We hope you will take the time to complete this brief (5-10 min.) survey about your experiences at our hybrid conference. Use the QR code in the reminder image below to access the survey link.
