The Steering Committee
of the Society for the Study of French History July 2007.
The committee runs the day-to-day affairs of the society and frequently
responds to requests and proposals from other organisations and individuals.
Recent work of this kind includes providing views on archival policy
and preservation; lodging concerns with libraries and archives over
archive closures and acquisitions policy; lobbying funding councils
(the AHRC in particular). The committee meets twice a year, once
in January and once at the annual conference. Its membership consists
of the trustees, the officers and committee members, including postgraduate
representatives. Elections of officers and committee members take
place at the AGM. Nominations for vacant positions may be forwarded
to the secretary.
