Call for Papers
Fort Ticonderoga seeks proposals for the Fifteenth Annual “Material Matters: It’s in the Details” conference taking place online on January 24, 2026. We seek papers relating broadly to material culture made, used, or altered in a military context. From soldier’s encounters with domestic furnishings on campaign, to the weapons designed and built for battle, military history and material culture are profoundly connected. Submissions are due July 1, 2025. See the Call for Papers below for more details.
