Join C19
Since its founding in 2009, C19 has hosted six successful conferences at Penn State (May 2010), UC Berkeley (April 2012), UNC, Chapel Hill (March 2014), Penn State (March 2016), the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque (March 2018), and Miami (2022). C19 2020: Dissent was held online (October 2020).
In 2015 we initiated the C19 Circuit, short regional events and workshops focused on bringing together area students, teachers, and scholars to discuss topics related to nineteenth-century America. The first Circuit event entailed a reading and discussion of a previously unknown nineteenth-century manuscript play written and performed by students at a military academy in Vermont in 1838—Philip, or the Indian Chief, held at the Newberry Library in Chicago. A discussion of the preservation of nineteenth-century archives was held at New York University in October.
The C19 listserv continues to serve as a site for communication about events and happenings in nineteenth-century studies and C19 Cluster Groups enable those with special interests to develop institutional and intellectual connections. The community of C19 members is the driving force behind the organization's development. Join C19!
J19: The Journal of Nineteenth-Century Americanists, the official journal of the society, is received by all members. Co-edited by Elizabeth Duquette and Stacey Margolis, J19 welcomes interdisciplinary work representing the most innovative research and analysis. The journal includes features such as "state of the field" polemics, reproductions of new and significant archival materials, roundtables, and special issues on topics of general interest to nineteenth-century Americanists.
