The Marion Dean Ross/Pacific Northwest Chapter of the Society of Architectural Historians will be holding our "mini" conference October 10-12, 2025 in Tacoma, Washington! As a direct response to the political and financial threats to our cultural institutions, we have selected the theme: "Resist, Reclaim, Restore: Preserving an Inclusive Heritage."
We’re currently accepting proposals for conference sessions—and we’d love to hear from YOU. Submit a traditional paper or panel session, or mix things up with a Pecha Kucha or another creative format. Proposals should explore the study, interpretation, and protection of historically significant places across Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and British Columbia, and we're especially interested in proposals that resonate with our theme.
Whether you’re a seasoned scholar, a graduate student, or a practitioner with a story to tell, we encourage you to share your ideas and help us shape a conference that reflects the full range and richness of our region’s built environment.
Submit your proposals by 11:59pm, Friday, August 1, 2025.
