Dear EBHS 2013 conference participants,Welcome to Baltimore for our 38th annual conference. This year’s program is

notable for both quality and quantity, with almost ninety papers, which fit together remarkably well into almost thirty panels. We are thrilled to have Louis Galambos, Professor of History at Johns Hopkins University, to deliver the keynote address. And this may be the first time we’ve ever met in a former Masonic temple.

Baltimore is a perfect locale for an economic and business history conference. As a port city on the Chesapeake Bay, Baltimore was one of the most economically vital cities in America’s early history. By 1830 it was second only to New York in population. The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad launched America’s railroad revolution. The city’s rapid rise as a center of manufacturing and commerce aided its rise as a cultural and educational center, thanks in part to local businessmen-philanthropists like Enoch Pratt, William Thompson Walters and his son Henry, and Johns Hopkins. Like many industrial American cities, Baltimore fell on hard times in recent decades and has tried with varying degrees of success to revitalize itself with public-private partnerships, such as the Inner Harbor and Oriole Park at Camden Yards, and reorient its economy toward the professions, notably higher education and medicine.

If you want to explore the city from the hotel, your best bet is probably North Charles Street. Walking south will quickly take you to the Inner Harbor. The water taxis there are an inexpensive way to get on the bay and possibly visit one of Baltimore’s historic neighborhoods like Little Italy or (my favorite) Fells Point. Some of us will make that walk on Friday afternoon, for our guided tour of Oriole Park at Camden Yards.

An easier walking option is to go north on North Charles Street, which will almost immediately put you in the Mount Vernon Cultural District, an attractive shopping, dining, and sightseeing area. You will notice helpful signs and plaques by some of the buildings, which give information about each site and provide a map of an excellent tour of the district. Among the landmarks I suggest you not miss are the Walters Art Museum, the Washington Monument (which predates the one in Washington, DC), the Basilica of the Assumption, and the Belvedere Hotel.

Lexington Market, which dates back to 1782 and is about four blocks west of the Tremont Grand, is a must if you are curious to try Baltimore seafood. Of the many food options there, I particularly recommend the crab cakes at Faidley’s. (Note: The market is only open until six. For further recommendations, please see my Baltimore guide on the EBHS website.)

Planning this conference has been infinitely easier thanks to the other EBHS trustees, especially Jari Eloranta, Dan Giedeman, Jason Taylor, and Olli Turunen. Thanks also to Program Chair Duncan Philip Connors and our panel chairs and discussants. Thank you for coming to EBHS 2013. I hope you have a great time and join us next year in Manchester.

Ranjit Dighe, EBHS President
