AASLH History Hour | August 2026

On August 25, join AASLH for a FREE History Hour co-hosted by the Field Services Alliance and Small Museums Committee. As with all AASLH History Hours, most of the session will be in small breakout rooms, providing an opportunity for museum professionals to network and share. This History Hour will focus on how museums can advocate for themselves and share stories of the positive benefits we bring to our communities. In an era where grant funding is a challenge, this is an essential tool.

We will be joined by a community development advisor with the Federal Reserve Bank, who will discuss a report about scenic and historic byways and how they can boost economic development. This is an excellent chance to learn new ways to think about the benefits we know we bring to the communities we serve.
