To support a new webinar series, "AASLH Conversations," to help staff, volunteers, and boards at historical organizations think through how best to respond to the multi-faceted challenges raised by COVID-19.

This project uses AASLH's existing online learning platform, to deploy a new webinar series, "AASLH Conversations," to help staff, volunteers, and boards at historical organizations think through how best to respond to the multi-faceted challenges raised by COVID-19. In these interactive, online events, prominent leaders from across the public history field offer comments and ideas on various aspects of our current crisis, followed by a robust live discussion with participants. Priced to be broadly accessible to the field, these webinars are a practical way to reach history practitioners at hundreds of smaller institutions around the country. The project will also use the "Conversations" format to expand the impact of sessions from AASLH's upcoming Annual Meeting, allowing hundreds of additional practitioners through digital engagement.
