Bridging Historical and Civic Practice - Recorded Webinar
Originally presented: October 1, 2026 | 3 - 4:15PM ET |
With its vast geographical reach and high degree of public trust, the history sector is uniquely positioned to strengthen democracy. But the field has largely been an untapped partner in this effort. Now, more than ever, there is an urgent need to leverage and expand the vital role history organizations play in civic life—both by advancing essential historical knowledge and skills and also by strengthening civic participation, bridging divides, and addressing contemporary challenges. This webinar will offer both big-picture inspiration and concrete case studies highlighting programming and partnership ideas that can help enhance your organization’s capacity to fortify American civic culture.
This webinar is presented as part of AASLH’s History & Democracy Initiative (HDI), which seeks to amplify and uplift the crucial role that the history field plays in supporting a thriving democracy. HDI is supported by our founding partner, the Virginia Museum of History & Culture.
