I’m glad I can conclude my day attending this talk by John Bidwell from the American Antiquarian Society! It’s a fascinating story of print history, American iconography, and national memory. 📜

Currently obsessed with this 1926 lithograph poster, courtesy of the Tennessee Virtual Archive. The symbology employed for national commemorations of 1776 reflects each anniversary year’s time & interpretation of US historical memory. I wonder what visual interpretations we’ll put forward in 2026.

Museum folks! Current grad student choosing fall semester electives here. Would you recommend I take either of these over a more traditional (yet still public humanities) course? These are good skills, but would a workshop/on the job experience do the job? #gradstudent #publichistory #courses

Quick café question on the last day of #NCPH2025: will next year’s joint AASLH-NCPH conference use #AASLHNCPH2026 or two separate hashtags? Should ‘united we stand, divided we fall’ be the appropriate, guiding theme for next year’s hashtag(s)?

Two key takeaways from #S26 at #NCPH2025: Alisha Smith’s encouragement for us to consider civil rights not just as a movement but as a journey we all must take & these words from educator-activist Shirley Rose from Harford County, MD as endlessly applicable for both public history projects and life!
