Promote your history organization and events on The History List

 

 

 

 

 

 

Add your events in a few simple steps

 

(1) Sign in now using Facebook or request a free account on The History List.

• There is no cost to list organizations and events.
• It's copy-and-paste simple.
• Anyone—staff, interns, volunteers—can add or edit.  This  means that you can add a listing and someone else who is signed in later can update the listing.

→  Still not sure about participating?  Learn more about how The History List is different and how it's been designed to meet the needs of historic sites and history organizations of all types and sizes, and read what other organizations say about why they participate.

 

(2) Add your events and exhibits. 

Examples from Old Sturbridge Village, Vizcaya, the Kentucky Historical Society, and the Hariett Beecher Stowe Center.

Information on how history authors, experts, and costumed interpreters can add their events to The History List.

If it is a holiday event taking place during December, check the "holiday" box near the bottom of the entry form.  (More details on promoting holiday events.)

Example: The Christmas Candlelight Grand Masquerade at Tryon Palace.

If it is a summer camp or multi-day program for kids, check that box.  (More details on promoting summer programs.)

Examples: Summer Day Camp: Colonial Days and Three Yesterdays Summer Camp (Grades 1 - 2).

Or if it is a reenactment, check that box.

Example: Redcoats and Rebels and Washington's Crossing.

If your event is primarily for professionals, academics, or members of an or association, check that box and a "Pro" icon will appear with your listing.

Example: American Association for State and Local History annual conference

 

(3) Add information about your organization.  A page for your organization was created automatically when you entered your first event. 

To find it and any of the other event and organization pages you entered or edited, click on the "Account activity" link that appears under your name after you are signed in.

Examples: The Marlborough Historical Society, Heritage Square Museum, and Historic New England.

 

(4) Add the "Member" logo to your site and newsletter.
