The History Studio
and
The History Studio is a public virtual event platform for the Massachusetts history community. This is your studio space! Have something you are working on and would like to present? Have skills to share or a project to show off? Propose a presentation, workshop, focus group, screening – you name it – to bring to the History Studio on the Mass History Commons.
We will publicize your History Studio event and manage zoom logistics. Just show up with your material (as you might have for a pre-Covid, in-person event), and we’ll do the rest.
There is no cost to hold a History Studio event (though donations are encouraged).
