Thanks for the ingenuity @Phillyhistory. It was a pleasure to participate in such an innovative project and definitely impressive to see what can be created when a group of people work together to write

Interesting post. I also think that it is interesting where we decide to store much of our art. Should we have museums in places more prone to natural disasters and conditions that are more challenging

I think it is probably best to go wherever you can get a job first. Work to gain experience and then choose where you want to live once you've built up your resume. With that said, St. Pete is clearly

This is a bit tricky. So the key is not quality or spending money. It is about someone influential advertising for you. By Influential, I mean a major media outlet that gets millions of viewers. So, I

Good point, is a history nonprofit mission ever accomplished?

Cool post Joy. I see my state of birth, California, doesn't didn't feature. There also aren't really any hall of fames that I know of near where I grew up. However, I have been spending a lot of time studying

Thanks for bringing a real concern to the conversation @engledd. Perhaps this real concern is why history enrollments seem to be dropping. In a society that defines success through economic gains, the

Nice post. Solvang is a cool town that I highly recommend everyone who can, visits (not least for its proximity to an excellent wine region and beautiful coastal California). However, doesn't the

Looks good! Just a typo in the course name [Nonprofit Management for HistorianS] and perhaps before or after you say that we raised the equivalent of $6,000 you might explain that we raised it through

I think the community-led oral history project is the most appealing of these strong proposals. It seems like oral history projects have the potential to make a long-lasting impact through collaboration.

I like the idea of a paid internship for Art-Reach as well, especially with the challenge unpaid internships present in the cultural sector. Art-Reach does seem like a well run organization that will likely

I think you bring up some really good points Derek. If we can attract the attention and collaborate with large and stable organizations it is more likely that our contribution will have a lasting impact.

Great idea. Lets keep the steem going!! Do you think because the truck already received so much attention by the media that it is old news? Would they run a similar story?

Interesting idea. I like the idea of 10k used to develop materials that lend themselves to tour giving. One thing I had to research and develop myself as a teacher was material on religious buildings in

Great point Joy. A smaller ship can change course more quickly than a large ship. Just ask the Titanic!

I think your military analogy works in a lot of ways. What I am curious about are the drones and technology that makes both light and heavy troops irrelevant. Will technology do the same to museums?

Wow. I had no idea. History of science and the ways scientists have molded their "findings" to fit corporate and national interests is an important area that hopefully grows in the future.

I also notice that there is quite a bit of overlap between museums and Starbucks locations. However, unlike the cultural sector, I think it would be better if there were only one single super Starbucks

Thanks for the link. When you see chapter two is called "sauntering" and a later chapter is "meditations on oysters" you know it is a classic!

Sad, I didn't take that course. I saw the reading list, though. A lot of good stuff, for sure.
