A clear evidence for its importance was the large number of Finnish papers presented at the TTE2005 conference in Turku. Therefore IEHG has decided to create an inventory of Finnish environmental historians to encourage discursion and scientific cooperation. You can add yourself to our inventory by sending us a filled FEH form.  Downloadable FEH form in doc. format here. The first version of the list will be announced in mid 2006.  Envhist mailing list.
