AASLH Conversations
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused an unprecedented crisis in our local communities, country, and world. Many are seeking answers and guidance during this time, and AASLH has been listening to the concerns from the history community. In response, we are offering more online content including the new AASLH Conversations webinar series. While no one has all the answers, we hope these topic-focused conversations will provide a space to share ideas to help us all keep moving forward.
We know many organizations are facing financial strain due to the pandemic, so we developed AASLH Conversations with that in mind. We have drastically reduced the registration fee and are also providing a special promo code to waive the registration fee completely.
This conversation has been made possible in part by the National Endowment for the Humanities: Exploring the human endeavor.
Webinar Description
In this "AASLH Conversation," Erin Carlson Mast (President Lincoln's Cottage), David Janssen (Brucemore), and Kara Newport (Filoli Historic House & Garden) will lead a discussion about the unique challenges the coronavirus pandemic poses for historic sites across the country. From the perspective of three different institutions, they will offer ideas about how historic sites can best fulfill their missions, support their staff and volunteers, and serve their communities during our present circumstances and uncertain future.
