Welcome to the Spring 2018 issue of VAN.  This issue is full of useful information including calls for papers and panels as well as conference announcements from across the country.  For anyone still waiting to register for the upcoming VAF conference May 2-5, 2018 space is very limited, so don’t delay, register now!

Featured in this issue is some wonderful financial news from our VAF treasurer.    We also have the new Field School section of the website up and running—so please send any announcements to vaneditor@vafweb.org

Members continue to share wonderful news of publications, lectures, and honors.  Please send us your good news to share. The Spring bibliography highlights useful resources that span the disciplines that contribute to vernacular architecture studies.  Thanks as always for the contributions to the newsletter, please keep them coming!
