You can’t go home again: archiving community memory and the reclamation of Black Boston | National Council on Public History This isn’t just about visibility. It’s about memory, belonging, and the right to have one’s story preserved.

New on History@Work–#PublicHistorian and #archivist Dr. Rhonda D. Jones writes, “archiving Black Boston is not about nostalgia; it’s about possibility. It’s about asserting that our past is not a footnote to the city’s grand narrative but central to it.” #BostonHistory https://loom.ly/b_Hc-mE

An argument for the basics: advocating for reference projects in this time of erasure | National Council on Public History In this time of erasure and censorship, basic historical reference resources remain crucial—yet often overlooked—tools in providing accessible and inclusive historical knowledge to the public.

New on History@Work. In a time of historical erasure, why should we focus on protecting digital encyclopedias? #PublicHistorian Emma Wiley makes “an argument for the basics.” #blog ncph.org/history-at-work/argument...

Thank you for following this nascent #PublicHistorian as I learned to use #Bluesky for what I love doing: telling a good story.

The #HeistHistories we continue to share shape our understanding of ourselves and our relationship with institutions of power.

Quantum Identities: Speculative Fiction's Role in Queer Communities Speculative fiction has always imagined worlds beyond boundaries - of time, of space, and of self. For queer communities, these imagined futures have long offered refuge, resistance, and recognition. This case brings together objects loaned by artists, fans, and creators who use sci-fi, fantasy, and fandom as tools to explore identity, belonging, and transformation. These artifacts reflect how speculative worlds help queer people see themselves - and one another - not as anomalies but as possibilities. In every brushstroke, pixel, stitch, and starship, we find new ways to imagine who we are and who we might yet become.

Quantum Identities is here!
What began as a passion project 18 months ago turned into an incredible exhibit. This case represents over 39 oral histories, 15 written histories & 25 curated objects. Honoring and preserving stories that mattered.

Question for #CivilWar #History, #NationalParks, #NationalForest, #PublicHistorian folk.
( to include @richcondon.bsky.social & @cwbc.bsky.social & @altnps.bsky.social ):
What impacts have DOGE/MAGA cuts had on #NationalBattlefield staffing, preservation, access, etc so far?

Hey all! I’m so excited to switch my visual content over to Flashes! I’m Corin, a #publichistorian #ceramicartist #educator and #smallcreativebusinessowner ! I have a wonderful studio assistant and best pal in the form of a #blackcat named Rumi. I’m looking forward to some real engagement on here!

I made it to #BGSU for @historianmodupe.bsky.social ‘s guest lecture: "Reckoning with Remembrance: Interpreting the Life and Legacy of Emmett Till at the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History." #publichistory #blackhistory #blackhistorymonth #publichistorian

In my spare time, I enjoy sewing, blogging, photography, make-up, and cosplaying.

Thank you for joining me on this strange but beautiful journey!

Great to see another #Australian #PublicHistorian arrive on BlueSky - welcome @tanyaevans.bsky.social

Hello! I'm a #publichistorian working with @ncph.bsky.social, so mostly you'll see me sharing their content. Excited to be here!

Cover of book titled black powder white lace. It has a historical photo of a family group.

Can’t ver of a book titled race place and memory that has a historic 1950s photo of a parade float carrying white men dressed as blackface minstrels.

Hello, all. Interdisc #AmericanStudier #publichistorian here. Currently working on #campusHistory projects. Past work includes #RacePlaceandMemory & #BlackPowderWhiteLace. I also post about #highered, #facultyaffairs, #GenEd, #civicengagement, gardens, food, cocktails.

Als #PublicHistorian kann ich mich sehr auf den Film freue und vielmehr interessiert mich der ganze Diskurs darum aus der Histobubble. Who cares, ob Napoleon, die Pyramiden angeschossen hat? Ich lese lieber die ganzen Essays dazu, die über fehlende "historische Korrektheit" schreiben 😇
