I'm happy to say that the dates and hotel for the NASS conference have now been set!
We will be meeting Aug. 22-25, 2013 in Boston/Cambridge, Massachusetts at the Courtyard by Marriott. Full details are not yet available, since I am still finalizing the contract with the hotel (so please don't try to make a reservation yet!) - but the dates and location are definite. In a slight departure from our usual agenda, our 'tour day' on Aug. 23 will omit the bus ride this year and will focus on two exhibits at Harvard - the primary one being the Time exhibit that Sara Schechner has mentioned on the Sundial List. Harvard has the largest collection of sundials in North America, and many of them will be on view as part of the exhibit. Sara, who is the curator of the collection, has also indicated that we may be able to schedule some special viewings and discussion of dials that are not in the exhibit. Part of the exhibit will include walking directions to a few other dials on the Harvard campus - and to other Harvard museums with items of interest. We are also looking into the possibility of a visit to the Harvard Observatory. Details will be available on our website and in The Compendium when they become available. Plan to join us!
