Pioneer Valley History Camp
What would happen if history-minded individuals: local historians, public history professionals, genealogists, preservationists, academics and amateurs, all found themselves in one place at one time?
Come find out at History Camp Pioneer Valley!
The Pioneer Valley History Network proudly announces History Camp Pioneer Valley to be held on Saturday, July 30, at the Kittredge Center at Holyoke Community College. This will be a gathering of history enthusiasts, high school age and up, for a day of learning and sharing.
Based on the "un-conference" model developed by History Camp Boston, this will be the first event of this kind in the western part of Massachusetts. What is an "un-conference"? In short, it's a self-organizing conference. People who share a common interest get together and create the framework for the event.
- The topics that are presented are the ones of interest to the presenters.
- No committee will "screen" the topics and requesting a time-slot is easy.
- The sessions that are well-attended are the ones that are of interest to the attendees. Anyone can present.
- It's an incredibly democratic way to gather and share information.
There will also be plenty of opportunity for networking and an exhibit area for selling books and other history-related products. There is no specific theme, but please, no political diatribes or sales pitches for a commercial product or service. Other than that, the sky is the limit.
