Rural History 2010 is the first international meeting of rural and agricultural historians. Over 200 papers on aspects of the agricultural and rural history of the last two millennia will be presented. There are strong contingents of historians from Britain, Belgium and the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden and other European countries and we also welcome colleagues from as far afield as India, China, Japan, and New Zealand.
The Joining Instructions (PDF) are here. This file includes information about On-site Registration, how to get to the University of Sussex, Campus Accommodation, Arrival on Sunday, Conference Sessions, Presentation Equipment, and Refreshments and Meals. It also includes a University of Sussex Leaflet containing useful information, and a plan of the accommodation. To keep the file size small, this PDF file needs Adobe Acrobat 9 or later. If we've missed anything out, please ask the Rural History 2010 Conference Administrator. Looking forward to seeing you soon!
There was a small error in my email: the PDF document is 9 pages long. If you don't bring a car you don't need to print page 9. If you are not staying in campus accommodation, you don't need to print page 8.
Note that there is also some useful information on the University of Sussex web site, including information about setting up your laptop to use the Internet.
If you are driving to the University of Sussex, you might find it useful to look at the Google map of the site entrance, particularly the street view. Drag the little yellow man to just above where it says 'Lewes Road' to see what the entrance looks like. Other delegates will also find the Google map interesting.

The final programme and abstracts of each paper are available. You will also find the full text of many of the papers here. Drill down from the session timetable or use the Participants list. |
Some of you booked for the conference a long time ago. You may find it useful to check what you booked for by viewing your registration. |
