The APH Annual Conference is a value-packed opportunity for aspiring personal historians to learn essential technical, business, and marketing skills. The APH Conference Scholarship Fund was created to provide assistance to APH members who otherwise might be unable to attend the Annual Conference. The 2005 Scholarship Committee hopes to award three full Scholarships and is now accepting applications and actively seeking donations.
