SUMMARY:Launch of the Mass History Commons
DESCRIPTION:Let’s throw a virtual party to celebrate the opening of a real resource\n \nThe Commons is an interactive website where people from Massachusetts history organizations can gather\, network\, share tools and resources\, and build the profile of their organizations and institutions — a place where all historical organizations and groups can hang out a shingle and be seen as part of a much larger whole. What’s a Commons for? See what it’s about! \nThe Mass History Commons brings us together!  \nJoin the MHA Board\, Commons logistics coordinator Caroline Littlewood\,  and esteemed guests as we take a tour of the Commons and explore its possibilities. \nREGISTER HERE \nThe annual Mass History Conference brings together a diverse community of local and community historians\, museum and historical society staff and volunteers\, archivists\, librarians\, researchers and educators.  This year — not so much. The Mass History Commons\, built over the past six weeks\,  is more than a substitute for the cancelled 2020 conference.  It is a permanent resource that extends the conversation and creates a space to share\, collaborate\, learn\, brainstorm\, plan\, and in general be up to no good. Perhaps you’ve enjoyed the Conversations on the Commons\, now you will see the rest! \nRegistration is free. After you register\, we’ll send you a link to the meeting.\nZoom participation is limited to 60. The event will be live-streamed on the Commons — we will monitor your questions and comments there as well. Check back here for the link. \nMHA Board members are Pleun Bouricius (Plainfield Historical Society)\, Stacia Caplanson (Preservation Massachusetts)\, Shana Dumont Garr (Fruitlands)\, Jon Green (Stonehill College)\, Gavin Kleespies (Massachusetts Historical Society)\, Katie MacDonald (Old Colony History Museum)\, Eric Peterson (Waterworks Museum)\, Sonia Pacheco (UMass Dartmouth)\, Mike Potaski (Uxbridge Historical Commission)\,  Margo Shea (Salem State University)\, Earl Taylor (Dorchester Historical Society) \n\nCONVERSATIONS ON THE COMMONS Where people from Massachusetts history organizations get to vent\, empathize\, laugh\, complain\, think\, collaborate\, brainstorm\, plan\, and in general be up to no good.

SUMMARY:Conversations on the Commons: Reopening\, Engaging\, or Both?
DESCRIPTION:Check-in: How are we doing on planning for reopening?\nFollowing up from our conversation two weeks ago\, we’ll talk through the reopening process for our institutions\, small to large.

How is the process going? Join Penni Martorell of Wistariahurst (Holyoke) and Gloria Greis of the Needham Historical Society for an informal discussion. \nWhat are your reopening plans? What is at the top of your list of worries?  How are you managing financially? Are volunteers interested in participating in public programs when the time comes? Is your board helpful?
