REVEALING WOMEN
Finding and Using Women’s History at Your Site
NCWHS/NPS Training Workshop to be held June 7-9, 2011
University of Massachusetts Amherst – Prior to the Berkshire Conference on the History of Women, June 9-12
This 2 1/2 day workshop will provide an overview of site-based women’s history, why it’s important, and the benefits of incorporating it into existing interpretation, preservation, and research.
* What are the challenges involved?
* Where does one begin doing research and developing interpretation?
* What have other sites done?
* What differences will visitors notice?
* How does one get buy-in from interpretive staff and other key individuals?
* How is success measured?
Participants will hear from nationally renowned experts. In breakout sessions participants will brainstorm possibilities for one another’s sites. Take home a workbook on historic sites & women’s history, and a toolkit of ideas for telling a more inclusive story.
