The New England Chapter of the VAF welcomes submissions for our 2025 Annual
Meeting. Each spring, the chapter’s annual meeting delves into New
England’s rich and diverse vernacular architecture and landscapes in
pursuit of a deeper understanding and appreciation of the everyday spaces
and places that characterize the region.

With a focus on community learning and mutual exchange, we invite topics
that examine vernacular buildings and landscapes from the seacoast to the
mountains, from milltowns to agricultural areas, and from small towns to
cities.

We encourage proposals across a broad spectrum of research and fieldwork,
welcoming not only thesis-driven papers but also works-in-progress, field
reports, and exploratory studies from students, scholars, researchers, and
practitioners. This inclusive approach allows for a dynamic exchange of
ideas and insights, promoting innovative perspectives and methodologies in
the study of New England’s built and natural heritage.

Submission Guidelines:
• Title and Contact Information: Include a title for the presentation and
the author’s contact information (name, address, email address, and
telephone number[s]).

• Presentation Description: Explain the nature of your presentation in a
maximum of 400 words, including up to two images. Please indicate if your
presentation is thesis-driven, a work-in-progress, a field report, or
another form of presentation/exploratory study, and if you are proposing a
10- or 20-minute presentation, or would like to contribute to a “research
roundup” roundtable or quick-fire discussion.

• Curriculum Vitae: Provide a one-page C.V.

Submission Deadline: Please send your proposals to *VAFnewengland at gmail.com
<VAFnewengland at gmail.com>* by *January 13, 2025,* with the subject line*
“2025 Annual Meeting Paper Submission.” *

All submissions will be acknowledged upon receipt, with presenters notified
by January 24, 2025.

We look forward to your contributions and to advancing the understanding of
New England’s unique architectural and landscape heritage.
