How do we do public history?

Second-years @beccakaliff, @agallagherhist, @LexiZilen and Kate Calamito do public history by exhibiting their research with the @humanitiestruck.

Their work will also be exhibited at the upcoming @dchistcon in a poster session!

[Humanities Truck @humanitiestruck]

Catch the truck out today at the Rhode Island Avenue shopping center! The truck is exhibiting a practicum project created by students from @aupublichistory, titled What Lies Beneath.

[AU Public History @aupublichistory]

Great work from our second year students @agallagherhist, @beccakaliff, and @LexiZilen! Make sure to get out and see the truck!

Hey #twitterstorians and #publichistorians how do you advocate for our field? In what ways do you conduct outreach with local, state, and federal legislative offices? Is there a need in the field for better organized grassroots outreach campaigns?

One year late but thankful I got to celebrate my undergraduate experience!

The Columbian Harmony Cemetery was an African American burial ground founded in the early nineteenth century in Washington DC.

This past semester I have been working on a practicum project to memorialize and honor the Columbian Harmony Cemetery with @PrologueDC which was the first black burial ground in DC. Check out our work!

@joshnreynolds Awesome project Josh! Super informative and well designed

[Josh Reynolds @joshnreynolds]

Howdy #twitterstorians check out my digital history project on Confederate Monuments! https://t.co/vdFXctC53e
I'd love any feedback y'all have. This has been a lot of fun to create and I feel like I am still only scratching the surface. Plus it was real cool to make a map😬

[Amanda Gallagher (she/her) @agallagherhist]

@MarenOrchard @ani_murray I really appreciate this advice, thank you!!

[Amanda Gallagher (she/her) @agallagherhist]

#twitterstorians do you include grad school projects on your resume? If so, how? We are debating this in one of my classes and would love some advice/feedback!

[Amanda Gallagher (she/her) @agallagherhist]

@CodyStraleyWV @thecliodotcom That’s a great suggestion, thank you!!

[Amanda Gallagher (she/her) @agallagherhist]

@ani_murray @MarenOrchard That’s a great way to do it, thank you!

[Amanda Gallagher (she/her) @agallagherhist]

Almost finished with my first year of grad school. One standout theme of the year: historians love Twitter. Happy to be a part of #twitterstorian community

[Amanda Gallagher (she/her) @agallagherhist]

Love working with @PrologueDC on this fascinating piece of history!

[AU Public History @aupublichistory]
