Society for History in the Federal Government 2024 Annual Meeting

Making History Accessible

Library of Congress, Madison Building, Washington, DC
May 30-31, 2024

Historical knowledge and resources should be available and accessible to all. This year’s SHFG conference will explore the numerous and creative ways that federal historians, curators, archivists, administrators, contractors, and specialists are making federal history and historical resources available to public and professional audiences. While expanding access to the past on new platforms has many benefits, it also presents a range of challenges. We encourage submissions that address these obstacles, in either specific or abstract ways, and that discuss how historians and organizations can work–and are working–toward the goal of making history accessible to wider audiences.  

Registration is now open! A program and schedule will be posted as soon as it is available.
