Dear colleagues,

We will be hosting the next annual meeting of the Henry Sweet Society
for the History of Linguistic Ideas at the University of Edinburgh,
4–7 September 2019. It would be fantastic to see the growing
Australian history of linguistics scene represented there. Call for
papers below after the signature.

And don't forget to come along to the next meeting of the Society for
the History of Linguistics in the Pacific, which will be held in
conjunction with ALS in December this year:
