The History List (www.TheHistoryList.com) is the largest list of history-related events across the country. Tip: For better viewing on Slideshare, click the full-screen button in the lower right hand corner of the window above. (It's the one with the four arrows.) The History List is used by history-related groups and organizations to publicize their events, sites, and exhibits to people in their community, state, and region, and to people who are planning a trip from another region. There is no cost to list. Free tools make it easy to share a constantly-updated list of events with partners, members, fans, and the media. For state and national organizations, The History List's tools provide an easy way to power a calendar with activities entered by participating organizations and displayed immediately on one searchable, sortable calendar, as well as on calendars throughout their network. The logos shown are owned by the respective organizations and were selected to represent the wide variety of graphic styles used. April 30, 2014: When original posted, the slides featured 50 logos; we've added more so that the total is up to 66.

38. The History List
•State and local historical societies,
museums, preservation
organizations, historic sites,
reenactment groups, associations,
and other national, regional, state,
and local history organizations list
their organizations, events, sites,
and exhibits.

39. The History List
•Focused exclusively on history
and history-related organizations.
•There is no cost to list.
•It’s copy-and-paste simple, with
nearly unlimited room for text,
pictures, and video.
•Anyone who is signed in—staff,
interns, volunteers—can add or
edit.

40. The History List
•With The History List, associations, CVBs, DMOs,
state historical societies, and other local, state,
regional, and national organizations can add a
continually updated list of events to their site
without writing any code.
•Using a click-to-build interface, they select the
organizations whose events they want to display in
their calendar, and within a few minutes have what
they need to add to their site. From there, all events
from those organizations appear in their calendar
automatically.
The event lists on these sites—the Kentucky Historical
Society, the Montana Historical Society’s statewide
“Women’s History Matters” project, and the Marlborough
Historical Society—are powered by The History List.

41. “The Massachusetts Historical Society offers most more than
100 public programs and events each year. What makes The
History List different is its targeted approach.
“It is an easy-to-use online resource that connects history
enthusiasts to history-related events and programs.”
Carol Knauff
Assistant Director of Development for Communications
Massachusetts Historical Society

42. “Each year Historic New England presents hundreds of public
events and programs at dozens of sites in five states.
Unlike other event-listing websites, by focusing exclusively on
history, The History List connects our events to a highly
targeted audience and helps that audience understand the full
range of our offerings.”
Rob Watson
Marketing Manager
Historic New England

43. “There are plenty of calendar services available online, but only
The History List caters specifically to the history community.
Their event-listing services are intuitive and easy, their
creators are smart and friendly, and our ability to communicate
with like-minded individuals and institutions about our events
and programming has never been easier because of them.
I’d tell any history-related organization, if you aren’t using The
History List, you’re overlooking an extremely useful and
effective tool.”
Matt Wilding
Media and Content Manager
Freedom Trail Foundation

44. “The History List is quickly becoming a pioneer on the web for
historical institutions.”
“Everything we are looking to share with the public is at our
finger tips, easy to use, and well thought out.”
Jodie McMenamin
Development Officer
USS Constitution Museum
