Breaking Through Barriers: Living History in Modern Times
Dear History Student or Emerging Museum Professional:
Love History? We invite you to join an organization of people who bring history to life! ALHFAM is an international organization with members located primarily in the United States and Canada. It has been an active, vibrant organization of dedicated people for over 45 years.
ALHFAM draws its membership from a broad spectrum of individuals and organizations involved in the collection, preservation or interpretation of material culture, traditional skills and historical processes. Members include volunteers, reenactors, institutional staff and vendors of goods or services. ALHFAM’s original focus on farming and agriculture has expanded to embrace disciplines from architecture to zymurgy and many in between.
ALHFAM’s Mission is to share practical knowledge and skills among those who make history relevant to contemporary lives. We draw strength from our diverse network of members, sharing experience, research and passion for participatory learning.
ALHFAM hosts both regional conferences and annual international conferences. This year’s annual meeting and conference will be held at Genesee Country Village and Museum in Mumford, New York on June 9-13, 2017. The theme is “Breaking through Barriers: Living History in Modern Times.”
As a history student or emerging museum professional, we invite you to join us and attend this exciting conference. A limited number of fellowships are available.
