Civic Learning Week 2025: Youth, Your Site, and the Reinvigoration of Faith in Our Democracy - Recorded Webinar
Original Recording 10 December 2024 | Join us for a webinar on how your site can empower youth to find place and faith in our communities and democracy. The research and experience are clear: Young people are losing faith in our democracy; the best way to strengthen democracy is to teach it; when young people see they can shape our country, they believe in the future; and when they do that, we establish a foundation for a stronger and more hopeful next 250 years for our country, it’s people and the world. Our states and communities' local history sites are the perfect place to start that change. Join this webinar to learn tricks, tips, and best practice on how you can be part of this change during Civic Learning Week 2025.

Doing History in Polarized Times - Recording Bundle
Thursday and Friday, February 8 & 9, 2024
Political and cultural divisions in America today pose great challenges to the history field. While research shows that there is actually broad public support for a full and honest portrayal of American history, there are also basic disagreements that persist. How can our field navigate disputes about the past, build on areas of consensus, and make the most of the transformative potential of the coming U.S. 250th anniversary? Across two afternoons, this virtual summit will explore recent research, emerging strategies, and case studies to help history practitioners work more effectively in today’s fractious discourse. We will also consider the needs of history doers working in this difficult environment and our field’s role in identifying common ground and connecting past and present.
