Organization of American Historians conference
The Texas Panhandle was represented by seven participants at the OAH conference in Washington,D.C. in April 2006. We were pleased that Dr. Shaffer was able to join us on the first day of the conference. As always, the OAH offered provocative sessions which encourage critical thinking and debate! Our teachers occasionally were amazed (and dare I say, horrified?) at some of the sessions. The off-site sessions offered such rarities as a behind-the-scenes tour of the National Archives, the nuts and bolts of digital access to the Library of Congress, and other useful and fascinating topics. For my part, best of all was simply being in the nation’s capital and actually seeing all the things we teach our students.
