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

How can the boards and leadership of history institutions respond to the challenges created by the COVID-19 pandemic? In this interactive online conversation, history leaders and AASLH Council Members Christy Coleman (Jamestown-Yorktown Foundation) and Katherine Kane (retired, Harriet Beecher Stowe Center) discuss how the boards and senior leadership of historical organizations can serve their audiences and communities and support their staffs and volunteers while confronting immense challenges and uncertain futures.
