Keynote speaker at this conference will be Paola Giuliano (UCLA Anderson School of Management). For this conference, the CGEH invites paper proposals that study the role of informal institutions in the development process, with a particular focus on family organisation and the decision making power of women, both at the micro and the macro level. Though the focus lies on the past two centuries, paper proposals on all periods are welcome. Abstracts (max. 500 words) should be sent in PDF to *[email protected]* <[email protected]> before the 30th of June. *Click here for more info* <http://www.cgeh.nl/deep-causes-economic-development> *Workshop 'Common People, Common Rules. Institutions and self-governance in historical perspective' (Pamplona, 30-31 October 2014)* [image: http://www.collective-action.info/sites/default/files/webmaster/_IMA_LOG_CR-...] Collective ownership and resource management is currently an important research topic among historians, anthropologists, legal experts, economists, sociologists, and political scientists, not least as a consequence of the challenges the world is facing regarding the management of natural resources. During this two-day workshop, which will be held at the Public University of Navarra in Pamplona, we will be focusing on institutions for collective action, that are self-governing and self-regulating in historical perspective. At the workshop much attention will be given to the historical analysis of common land regimes, which has witnessed a clear shift in focus from the study of the abolition of commons towards the analysis of the internal logic of their functioning. *Click here for more info* <http://www.collective-action.info/_AGE_20141030_UPN-Pamplona> *Call for abstracts and panel proposals XVth Biannual International Conference IASC; deadlines 1 July (panel and group presentations) and 31 July (individual presentations) 2014* [image: http://www.collective-action.info/sites/default/files/webmaster/_IMA_LOG_IAS...] On 23-25 May 2015, the 15th Biannual International Conference of the International Association for the Study of the Commons (IASC) will be held at the University of Alberta (Canada).

Main issue of the meeting is the search for new possibilities of collective action among the elderly today to cope with the challenges posed by population ageing and the demand of long-term care. The program includes lectures by David Reher (Universidad Complutense de Madrid) who will highlight the topic from a long-term European perspective and discuss the different Northwestern and Southern European institutional solutions to ageing. George de Kam (University of Groningen) will talk about recent developments in the Netherlands and the effectiveness of the new solutions in care and living. *Click here for more info* <http://www.collective-action.info/_ICA_Think-tank-sessions/#TTS3> *'Ja, ik wil!' ('Yes, I Do!') - Unique project: digitizing pre-marriage registers of Amsterdam through crowd-sourcing* *[image: http://www.collective-action.info/sites/default/files/webmaster/_IMA_LOG_Ja-ik-wil.png]* On February 3, the digitization project* ‘Ja, ik wil’(‘Yes, I do’)* <http://www.collective-action.info/ja-ik-wil> started. With this large-scaled project, researchers from the Department of Social and Economic History of Utrecht University seek to digitize the Amsterdam premarriage records (1581-1811) to make the data from these records available for scientific research. Using the websourcing platform* ‘Vele Handen’** (‘Many Hands’)* <http://www.velehanden.nl/>, the research team initiated a co-operation with the *Amsterdam City Archives* <https://stadsarchief.amsterdam.nl/english/home.en.html> to attract volunteers to help with entering the information held in the source. Over 285 - and numbers still increasing - volunteers, among whom history teachers, genealogists, and alumni of Utrecht University have already registered to start entering the data. In the first phase (2014) of this project, the team aims to digitize about one-fifth of these records, which will already form a rich source of data for further historical research. The intention is to digitize the whole source by the end of 2015.
