Whose History is Preserved? (Virtual Program)

February 24, 2022 by Editorial Staff Leave a Comment

Vermont Historical Society Winter Speaker SeriesThe Vermont Historical Society will host “Whose History is Preserved?,” a virtual program with Cyndy Bittinger, Author and Historian & Lindsay Houpt-Varner, Executive Director, Rokeby Museum looking at how museums and cultural institutions preserve and promote history, set for Monday, February 28th.

In recent years practitioners in the field have begun to ask whose history is preserved and what impact that has on historical interpretation. In this guided discussion, Lindsay Houpt-Varner will explore the preservation of an African American church and how this project brought to light regional inequities in the objects and stories preserved in prior decades. Cyndy Bittinger will share her research into Black Vermonters and women’s activism, and how she worked with volunteers to obtain archival materials to write a book.

This program will begin at 7 pm and is free and open to the public. For more information or to register, click here.
