2023 Mass History Conference Call for Ideas, Suggestions & Proposals
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. In leaving 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.
