Public Historians and the Culture and Meaning of Region"

The Poster Session is an informal format for presentations on research and programming projects that use visual evidence. Presenters may demonstrate and discuss Web sites or other computer applications for public history projects; mount table-sized exhibits of research and interpretation; or share images, audiovisual materials and handouts from successful public programs.
