Last week, Prof. Brian A'Hearn and Prof. Giovanni Vecchi have presented the HHB project at the 11th European Social Science History Conference (ESSHC), held in Valencia from March 30 to April 2, 2016, within the meeting on "Household Budgets and Living Standards during the Nineteenth- and Early-twentieth Centuries" (see the entire programme here).

The ESSHC is organized by the International Institute of Social History (IISH), and its aim is to bring together scholars who explain historical phenomena using the methods of the social sciences. The conference is characterized by a lively, small group exchange, rather than in formal plenary sessions, organized in many networks covering specific topics. It welcomes papers and sessions on any historical topic and any historical period. Read more about the ESSHC and its conferences.
