A few months ago, Matthew Hayes tweeted the following at me:
@AndreaEidinger Hey Andrea, do you know of any listservs for CFPs for history conferences/publications? Does the CHA do one? Thanks!

What I love about my conversations with Matthew is that his questions always make me think about the insider knowledge that I have about how the historical profession works. While I ended up answering Matthew on Twitter, along with help from the equally awesome Keith Grant and Tina Adcock, I thought that this topic definitely merited a blog post. When this question came up again last week on Facebook, I knew that I needed to get on this quick. So that’s what we’re going to talk about: CFPs and where to find them!
Quick note: while I am speaking specifically in reference to Canadian history, these guidelines apply no matter what field you are in!
