This document discusses community resources and their importance for social studies instruction. It identifies different types of resources available in communities, such as geographic landmarks, historical sites, cultural institutions, economic centers, scientific laboratories, and forms of social control. It emphasizes that community experiences can enrich social studies by allowing students to interact with and contribute to their community, using it as a laboratory. Finally, it concludes that community study and service should be essential components of school education in order to strengthen democracy.History Gets Extreme in Livingston, Montana

Is Including Sex and Exhibition or Exhibitionism?West Muse
油
Do topics of sex, sexuality, and gender have to turn exhibitions into exhibitionism, or incite feelings of queerness and queasiness? What drives assumptions about these issues, and how might that lead us to censor core aspects of our collections, our exhibitions, our facilities, our staff, and our visitors? Come join this Westinar, a seminar-style discussion, as colleagues from across the border and various types of museums specialties stimulate a conversation about how to embrace these parts of our biology,
cultures, and identities without shame.

This document discusses sources that can be used to reconstruct Africa's past. It defines primary and secondary sources, and notes challenges including skepticism from Western historians and a lack of written records from Africa. Major written sources discussed include ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs, accounts from Muslim travelers and European colonists. Oral traditions are also a source, though they are imprecise and accounts may change over generations. Other disciplines that can aid history include archaeology through sites like Sterkfontein caves, anthropology through studying ancient humans and cultures, and historical linguistics through language analysis.Hist 17 b shasta college library tour

Has your museum ever tried to engage audiences in controversial topics, moderate discussions about social movements, or introduce inclusive practices only to be stymied by your board or director? Does it feel impossible for your museum to be an advocate for social justice issues? This session is informed by the growing movement of museums and museum professionals working to dispel the myth of institutional neutrality or nonpartisanship, the reality of museum professionals who cant overtly address controversial topics, and a belief that museums are places that are quietly subversive.

Jo Foster-Murdoch
The British Museum touring exhibition Desire, Love, Identity came to Norwich in 2019 and was a catalyst for change within Norfolk Library Service, in that it offered the opportunity to look at our collections within Norfolk Heritage Centre. As a volunteer within my own workplace, I was able to help support the exhibition as part of my MA in Queer History.
Recruited our 12-18 year old Community Curators - events programme: Zine making workshops, book displays, exhibition tours, Zine Fair, Guerrilla Knitting, creating an alternative guide, including interpretations of the Ain Sakhri lovers.
Developed ephemera community collecting outreach efforts for our Queer History Donation Station for depositing with Norfolk Heritage Centre, which resulted in the opening of the Norfolk LGBT+ History Collection at the Heritage Centre in Feb 2020.

This document summarizes and quotes from several sources about the history of Cherokee education, particularly the Cherokee Female Seminary. It provides context about the seminary's founding in the 1800s, its closure due to political pressures in the 1860s, its reopening and subsequent burnings in the late 1800s. It discusses themes of Cherokee storytelling traditions, gender roles, and the importance of local knowledge and oral histories in understanding Cherokee culture. The document concludes with a poem written by a 1905 senior from the seminary expressing hope that the school continues its role in Cherokee education and cultural preservation.History research at the University of Hertfordshire

Halloween originated from the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, which was celebrated at the end of the harvest season and believed to be a time when the souls of the dead could commune with the living. As Christian missionaries converted the Celtic people, they attempted to replace their pagan rituals with a Christian-focused All Saints' Day, though many of the older traditions remained. Today, Halloween is a holiday associated with costumes, trick-or-treating, jack-o-lanterns, and superstitions about divination and contacting spirits of the dead.Unshacked event 2014 - Promotional one pager -WORD (1)

Community pillars and repositories of history and memory, many museums are struggling the face of an ever evolving technological landscape. Consultants for local museums have commented that small museums lack all of the new technology platforms and as a result these museums will most likely fall further behind the industry and become less relevant to the intended audience. By looking at recent digital initiatives from across the country, this panel will highlight ways in which museums can use this opportunity to not only jump on the digital bandwagon, but also reach a new and larger audience.
The Smithsonian Institution, the Center for Public History + Digital Humanities, and the Florida Humanities Council are a few of the national and statewide institutions that are partnering with small town museums and historic sites through new digital initiatives. We will discuss twenty-first century solutions for museums and historic sites by examining interactive experiences that explore how we can leverage current collections/resources and thus highlight the pivotal role these institutions can play within the larger community.Participatory Culture, AAM2012

It discusses two programs started in 2010 - an artist talk series featuring local craftspeople, and an acoustic music series called "Luce Unplugged" featuring local musicians. Surveys of visitors to these programs found they attracted more local and younger visitors than typical museum audiences. Most had not previously visited the museum's Luce Foundation Center gallery space. The programs aim to increase accessibility and engage new audiences, in line with broader societal trends of supporting local communities and businesses.

The History List (www.TheHistoryList.com) is the largest list of history-related events across the country.
Tip: For better viewing on 際際滷share, click the full-screen button in the lower right hand corner of the window above. (It's the one with the four arrows.)
The History List is used by history-related groups and organizations to publicize their events, sites, and exhibits to people in their community, state, and region, and to people who are planning a trip from another region. There is no cost to list. Free tools make it easy to share a constantly-updated list of events with partners, members, fans, and the media. For state and national organizations, The History List's tools provide an easy way to power a calendar with activities entered by participating organizations and displayed immediately on one searchable, sortable calendar, as well as on calendars throughout their network.
The logos shown are owned by the respective organizations and were selected to represent the wide variety of graphic styles used.
April 30, 2014: When original posted, the slides featured 50 logos; we've added more so that the total is up to 66.

APM event hosted by the South Wales and West of England Network (SWWE Network)
Speaker: Aalok Sonawala
The SWWE Regional Network were very pleased to welcome Aalok Sonawala, Head of PMO, National Programmes, Rider Levett Bucknall on 26 February, to BAWA for our first face to face event of 2025. Aalok is a member of APMs Thames Valley Regional Network and also speaks to members of APMs PMO Interest Network, which aims to facilitate collaboration and learning, offer unbiased advice and guidance.
Tonight, Aalok planned to discuss the importance of a PMO within project-based organisations, the different types of PMO and their key elements, PMO governance and centres of excellence.
PMOs within an organisation can be centralised, hub and spoke with a central PMO with satellite PMOs globally, or embedded within projects. The appropriate structure will be determined by the specific business needs of the organisation. The PMO sits above PM delivery and the supply chain delivery teams.
