PUBLICK OCCURRENCES — December 12, 2022
2023 MA History Conference: Send us your Keynote or Session Ideas, Suggestions, and Proposals!
Taking History to Town
The 2023 Mass History Conference
Yoga in the museum, collecting community history, bringing history to school in a suitcase, collaborating with community organizations, organizing poetry slams. Around the Commonwealth, local and regional historical organizations are working hard to expand the boundaries of collecting, engaging, and connecting with different, new, and more diverse audiences. When we leave our buildings to become part of the community, we are inviting the community to be part of us. Exhibits are happening online or with guest curators, programs take a hike to the nearest park or pub.
Join us — live and in person — for the 18th annual Massachusetts History Conference as we explore programming, best practices and skills developed by our peers in the local and public history field in Massachusetts. Let’s all get back together and share the skills and information crucial to keeping our organizations and collections in good shape.
Send us your ideas, suggestions, and proposals: a keynote speaker, session proposals (1 hour), ideas for workshops, your project that we can roll into a session with someone else, other suggestions, the works! Whether it’s a name, a topic, or a fully-formed idea, we want to hear it. Deadline is January 18th.
