About this conference
In 2026, marking the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States, the American Association for State and Local History (AASLH) and the National Council on Public History (NCPH) will host a joint conference. The theme, "The Work of Revolution," centers on societal change and the role of public history practitioners, scholars, and students in documenting, archiving, and interpreting historical events. The conference aims to foster reflection on the past 50 years of public history practice and inspire innovative approaches for the future, exploring how history guides societal evolution through various actions including politics, organizing, and litigation. Attendees will engage in discussions, workshops, and sessions to build professional networks and confront contemporary challenges in the field, with an emphasis on communal and personalized learning experiences.
