The Business and Labour History Group, with the support of the Faculty of Economics and Business at the University of Sydney, is launching a new organisation called the Academic Association of Historians in Australian and New Zealand Business Schools (AAHANZBS). It aims to bring business historians, labour historians, economic historians, accounting historians, mining historians, transport historians and other historians in business and management schools in Australia and New Zealand together in one umbrella organisation to promote historical research and teaching.

2009 sees the 50th volume of Labor History and to celebrate this milestone Routledge is pleased to offer a special US$5,000 Graduate Scholarship Prize. The deadline for scholarship applications, which will be assessed by the journal editors, is Friday 15th May. Visit the Labor History website ([url]http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/clah[/url]) and follow the 'news & offers link' for an application form and details of the terms and conditions.
