Organizations onThe History List

Jodie McMenamin Development Officer

USS Constitution Museum

“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.”

Carol KnauffDirector of Communications

Massachusetts Historical Society

“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.”

“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

“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 & Content Manager The Freedom Trail Foundation

“I will say, your calendar is the best online

calendar I’ve submitted event information to. I

will definitely upload our 2013 events, and share

the site when possible.”

Tara Richards Marketing and Program

Director Brucemore (Cedar Rapids,

Iowa)

“I just heard about The History List and can't

believe I didn't know about this amazing resource

sooner. Clearly, it will be a boon to museums and

historic sites as locals will use it to find events

close to them. But it will also be good for

travelers.”

Monta Lee DakinExecutive Director

Mountain-Plains Museums AssociationColorado, Kansas, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico,

North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas and Wyoming

“I'm incredibly impressed. I do a ton of these events

calendars and I dread them because a. they are all

different b. they don't give enough flexibility (different

hours on different days for example) and c. I'm forever

scrolling or hitting enter or doing some other forbidden

action that messes up my entries or causing me to get red

errors all over the place. You even let me change font

size, bold my text, etc . . . You've created an easy to use,

flexible, attractive site.”Anne Grasberger

Volunteer Goschenhoppen Historians Henry Antes

Plantation and the Goschenhoppen Historians Folk Festival

“I'm always looking for new ways to promote our

events and programs and it seems like the History

List is a great place to do it.”

Laurie NivisonDirector of Marketing

Historic Deerfield (Deerfield, Massachusetts)

“If readers aren’t familiar with The History List,

it’s an easy way to promote your events online in

very clever and engaging ways.”

Max A. van BalgooyPresident of Engaging Places

A consulting firm working with historic sites, museums, and other cultural institutions

“This is so cool. The History List has events ("bring

you face to face with history") listed on its website

according to date - and if you input your city, it will

also tell you the distance from your home. So you

can find fun events (or if you are a history-related

organization, post fun events) with as much

information as possible.”Lauren Muney

Silhouettes By Hand, on Facebook

“@TheHistoryList Just "discovered" you! What an

asset to SM and history. TY.”

Jane M. MasonDirector of Communications and

MarketingWestern Reserve Historical Society

(Cleveland, Ohio) on Twitter

“Thanks for the invitation, love to and love

your idea of promoting historic events!”

Granite Falls Historical Society (Granite Falls, MN) on Facebook

“Check out this fantastic website for The

History List! I love this concept—all history

events, all the time. What a great resource for

travelers who are interested in heritage

tourism.”

Steph McDougalFounder of McDoux Preservation

(Kemah, Texas) on Facebook
