The Microhistory Network was created as a loose group in January 2007 to bring together historians interested in the theory and practice of microhistory through a homepage with a continuously refreshed bibliography, links to the members' homepages and other relevant webpages as well as a mailing list (The Microhistory Network at Yahoo Groups) that would give information about conferences, events, the publication of books and articles. The founding members of the Microhistory Network are Mihail Boytsov, Carlo Ginzburg, Marion Gray, Ingar Kaldal, Giovanni Levi, David M. Luebke, Sigurdur Gylfi Magnússon, Sarah Maza, Edward Muir, Matti Peltonen, Guido Ruggiero, David Sabean and István Szijártó.

The coordinators of the Microhistory Network are Ildikó Kenyó and István Szijártó (Eötvös University, Budapest).

 

 

 

 

“The possibilities of microhistory in university education” – roundtable discussion in Paris
(Maison Suger, 16–18, rue Suger, Paris, 75006) on 3 June 2011, organized by the Institute of Advanced Study – Paris

Participants of this roundtable agreed to continue the discussion  in a virtual form about the possibilities of microhistory in university education and about microhistory in general with the objective of reaching an agreement about the specific features that such a program should have that would tell it apart from all other programmes in history teaching. Members of Microhistory Network are all heartily welcome to join this virtual discussion (the Suger Network). Those who wish to get the communications circulated as well actually to contribute, contact István Szijártó (szijarto@elte.hu).
