Also note:

The Society of Historians of East European and Russian Art and Architecture (SHERA) is pleased to announce that it is extending its activities as a professional association, and will soon launch a new Website.

SHERA is an association of academics, librarians, museum workers, independent scholars, students, and other individuals who share an interest in the art and visual culture of Russia, the nations of the former Soviet Union, and Central and Eastern Europe. The Society seeks to improve research circumstances for scholars, connect members to necessary resources, provide a forum for ongoing conversations on areas of mutual interest, and foster contacts among members. SHERA runs a Web site and electronic listserv, and organizes sessions at scholarly conferences such as CAA and ASEEES.

For anyone attending the ASEEES Annual Convention in New Orleans, there is an open business meeting on Friday 16 November from 3:45 to 5:30pm. The meeting's highlight will be the launch of the new SHERA Website. Participants will elect officers and discuss plans for the organization.
