Register

What are some ways to share the history of AAPI communities in the United States beyond physical structures?

This May, as part of Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month, NCPH is pleased to sponsor an AAPI Digital Public History Project Showcase in partnership with the National Trust for Historic Preservation and Asian & Pacific Islander Americans in Historic Preservation (APIAHiP). On May 14 from 3:00 – 4:15 pm Eastern time, join us on the National Trust’s platform for a 75-minute free webinar showcasing exciting new or in-progress digital projects from a number of AAPI organizations. This webinar comes from two years of an NCPH-hosted AAPI public history working group.

Each project in this showcase—ranging from place-based initiatives and community archives to innovative digital humanities work—provides examples of how the histories of various communities can be preserved beyond the preservation of a physical structure or place. In addition to hearing briefly from six AAPI organizations, this webinar will provide space for others to share information about their own work and projects.

In addition to hearing from six organizations, this webinar will provide space for attendees to share information about their own work and projects.

Note: This webinar is 75 minutes long.
