clio workshop with david trowbridge | May 28, 2025 at 2:00 pm Eastern

To date, over five hundred university professors and organizations have used Clio to author over 40,000 articles in Clio that share the history of landmarks around the country, with dozens being added and expanded each day. Between these articles, there are nearly half a million sources and links that credit and promote the work of our colleagues. Organizations and classes have also authored over 1700 walking tours, hiking trails, driving tours, and immersive virtual tours of museums and sites. In this webinar, Clio founder and history professor David Trowbridge will offer an introduction and share some examples of how public historians have used Clio in their communities. He will also share some of the new location-aware audio features while taking questions from the audience about the kinds of features they would like to see added to Clio. There is no cost to attend the workshop, but if you are able we’d be grateful if you pay what you can to offset staff and facilitator time.

Considering the revolution | June 5, 2025 at 12:00 – 1:30 pm eastern

Join series editor and facilitator, M.J. Rymsza-Pawlowska, as we bring the 5-year “Considering the Revolution” conversation series from scholarship to application. Ista Clarke, Kristen Hayashi, and Nicole Moore, speakers from the 2023 and 2024 roundtables, will reflect on years of preparation for commemorations of the 250^th anniversary of the American Revolution and its lasting legacies, and will look forward to the future and the roles of public history in the present moment. The aim of the conversation is to think about context and models for approaching and reflecting upon present and future work. This is not a panel about content, instead: practice, and publics. Together, we will consider and explore how Americans are engaging the past right now. Register now at https://community.ncph.org/event/ConsideringRevolution.
