Association Francaise de Comptabilit6 Troisifmes Joumrnes d'Histoire de la Comptabilitf Third Accounting History Conference Nantes, March 20-21, 1997 The success encountered by the preceeding conferences confirmed the growing interest for accounting history, among French academics and practitioners. The next meeting will coincide with the opening of two exhibitions devoted to accounting history, which will be held in the City Library and the University Library of Nantes. The main goal of these exhibitions is to present the public and researchers with some of the "treasures" of these libraries, in the accounting field, and particularly the collection of books of the Belgian Accounting Historian, Ernest Stevelinck, the organizer of the First World Congress of Accounting Historians.
