Register Now for the 2024 Mass History Conference!

We invite you to join us on Monday, June 3, 2024 at the Devens Commons Center in Devens, MA for History Is For Everyone.

The Conference will bring together people from all walks of life to engage in historical practice and to champion inclusivity in our historical landscape. For millennia, history has been recorded through the lens of the privileged few – captured and controlled by the elite in private ivory towers. We now know that the best history work requires collective engagement, collaborative efforts, and diverse perspectives. This year’s conference will showcase stories about Massachusetts’ diverse communities and spotlight the projects and skills that give us models for telling these stories.

This year’s keynote speakers are Larry Spotted Crow Mann and Rhonda Anderson – two Native activists, storytellers, and historians whose work is vital to the way we tell Massachusetts history. Click here for the full program at a glance!

We’re excited to celebrate the multitude of voices that contribute to our history, and to enable you to share your own skills and struggles around implementing greater inclusivity in doing history. Whether you are experimenting with novel ways to document community narratives, hosting programs that resonate across diverse demographics, or facing challenges trying to meet your DEAI goals, we invite you to participate, because history is for everyone!

Registration also includes the opportunity to sign up for four different afternoon workshops – sessions limited to a small number of participants to facilitate discussions with experts. Be sure to register early to guarantee your spot!
