NCPH Social Media Update

Effective last Friday, November 15, NCPH has stepped back from the Twitter/X platform. Our account, which retains the history and memory of a vibrant and joyful online public history community, will stay up, but we will no longer be actively monitoring or posting there.

We will not expose our social media volunteers to a space that no longer feels safe or productive. Staff has hit the limit of our capacity to monitor and spend time on a hostile platform where speech, core functionality, and the terms of service are subject to partisan and corporate whims.

We look forward to spending more time with our public history community on Bluesky, LinkedIn, Instagram, and Facebook, and we may soon have a few new tricks up our sleeves. For non-members who infrequently use social media, the best way to keep up with NCPH is to sign up for infrequent emails via https://ncph.org/#newsletter-signup. For more frequent updates from us, you can join our community of public historians at https://community.ncph.org/.
