I am so grateful to have attended the National Council on Public History in Montréal last week. I presented my work on HIV/AIDS memory in Indianapolis with Jessica Baloun, Kayley Schacht, and Hannah Brennan, visited cultural institutions, and learned from fantastic public historians. #NCPH2025
I am very excited to be attending #NCPH2025 in Montréal! Alongside friends and cohort members, I will be presenting our poster, "In the Shadow of the HIV/AIDS Crisis" on HIV/AIDS memory projects in Indianapolis. I will also be volunteering at the conference. If you see me, please come say hello!
This could be very bad news for libraries and museums. 📚📜
Hi folks! My time as an MA public history student is coming to a close, and I am looking for full-time work. I am eager to contribute my enthusiasm and skills in research, writing, programs, collections, and social media. I would truly appreciate any connections or leads!

I'm very much looking forward to presenting at this year's Indiana Association of Historians conference this Saturday! Also excited for the keynote by Dr. Hasan Jeffries, which is free and open to the public. Info attached here!🗃️
I definitely agree; I think I mistakenly implied in my request that memorialization would be the same internationally. I’m always looking for sources on memory so I didn’t want to limit in case anyone had a recommendation outside Indianapolis. Thank you so much for the advice and well wishes!!
I am not a scholar in this area, but I did take an undergraduate course on the Holocaust. The Sunflower by Simon Wiesenthal was very powerful.
Thank you so much!
Absolutely! Your work guided me greatly when I studied the UDC & Confederate memory in KY. I’m looking forward to researching the complexities of local memory, this time in the Midwest
Hello Bluesky historians! I am doing research on historical memorialization in Indianapolis and would be very grateful for any recommendations for secondary source materials on the topic (local, national, or international). Thank you in advance!! 🗃️
Very excited about UofL's Public History work, and even more excited to be featured on their blog! Read about my internship last year with the amazing Filson Historical Society here!
Thank you!
Very happy to be on Bluesky! I want to make a quick post to introduce myself. I'm a public history MA student at IUPUI & history/Spanish graduate from UofL.
