  • Michael Pappone on 2021 Bay State Legacy Award NomineesI know Dr. Duclos-Orsello from her tireless, cheerful and strategically-focused work on behalf of the public humanities. She has been a thoughtful and deeply knowledgeable force on the Mass Humanities board, which I’m pleased to see that she now chairs. She would be an excellent recipient of this award.
  • Elizabeth Blood on 2021 Bay State Legacy Award NomineesDr. Elizabeth Duclos-Orsello is a dedicated scholar who intentionally makes her work public-facing so as to benefit people living in Massachusetts communities, not just researchers in universities. We have worked together on numerous projects on French Canadian and Franco American heritage in Massachusetts, creating accessible publications, oral histories, lectures, walking tours, exhibits, and more to make more visible the history and culture of this sizeable population of Massachusetts residents. She masterfully weaves this work into larger discussions around immigration and immigrant histories, women’s history, and political and economic shifts. Dr. Duclos-Orsello is also tirelessly devoted to social justice and racial equity, and her work in these areas is both impressive and expansive. She is an excellent candidate for the Bay State Legacy Award.
  • Bruce Schulman on 2021 Bay State Legacy Award NomineesElizabeth Duclos-Orsello has distinguished herself as an innovative, diligent and creative scholar, a talented public speaker and presenter, a teacher of unusual gifts, a pioneering administrator, who developed innovative new programs at Salem State, Studies curriculum for Salem State, and an effective, collaborative public humanist who has led numerous public humanities projects around Massachusetts. Generous, dedicated, compassionate, devoted to bringing the fruits of humanities scholarship to a wide audience, I can hardly imagine a better candidate for the Bay State legacy Award or a better ambassador for the Massachusetts Humanities community.

  • MHA on MHA ADVOCACY PRIORITIESHI Inna: Thank you for your comment. Yes! That’s what we are working on!
  • Inna Babitskaya on MHA ADVOCACY PRIORITIESMassachusetts needs the network of historical objects throughout the state, which will be joined by the historic epoch/event/person(s) (e.g. 1st settlements, American Revolution, etc.). It can help not only to preserve the MA historical heritage but also to promote the local history among the MA residents & out-of-state tourists. it is also important to have the courses of local history in schools & colleges, so students will know more about the local history, especially those who came from other states or countries. It will be great if MHA will help to find sources of funding for the local historical museums across the state.
  • MHA on ANNUAL MEETING: July 15!HI John — I posted an old list by mistake. you are not on the ballot. My apologies.
  • MHA on MHA ADVOCACY PRIORITIESHi Kevin — Thanks for suggesting. We’ll have a look at it!
  • kevin kaminski on MHA ADVOCACY PRIORITIESI suggest the MHA executive committee contact the state legislature seeking guidance to support bill S1769 which would make all historic state owned buildings within the DCR park system, enrolled in that state agency’s Historic Curator Program by legislative vote, to be exempt from local property tax (see DCR classified reimbursed 910 parkland). MHA should also contact Jim Igoe at PreservationMass. and the office of Governor Baker.

  • Cheryle C. on Postcard Competition EntriesI love all of them, but I think #12 gets my vote. Even as a young senator J.F.K. was inspiring. “Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.” Those words from his inaugural speech are a call to action, some of the most empowering I have ever heard. Yep, 12 for sure. I’m a Plymouthean and I can’t believe we are not represented. 2020 – I’m on it!
  • Rose on Postcard Competition EntriesSo many good images! Let’s start with the earliest Peak House and move on from there. .

  • Anne Beauregard on Postcard Competition EntriesIs there nothing in the competition for Brockton?
  • MHA on Postcard Competition EntriesZON is a commercial enterprise — Just sayin’ the we don’t endorse any, specifically.
  • William Donati on Postcard Competition EntriesWhy limit the choice to a single postcard? They should all be combined in a “tear out and mail” collection. Take a look at “Cowboys: Images of the Old West” at www.zonbooks.com. Zon International Publishing has fine postcard collections. Zon International Publishing is localed in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

  • Dumitru Brinzan on Example of a Post with Comments and Left SidebarThis is some dummy copy. You’re not really supposed to read this dummy copy, it is just a place holder for people who need some type to visualize what the actual copy might look like if it were real content.
  • Dumitru Brinzan on Example of a Post with Comments and Left SidebarIn today’s competitive market environment, the body copy of your entry must lead the reader through a series of disarmingly simple thoughts.
