In the latest review on the American Archivist Reviews Portal, Mattie Clear (Washington and Lee University Library Special Collections and Archives) examines The Inclusive Historian’s Handbook, a digital resource sponsored by the American Association for State and Local History (AASLH) and the National Council on Public History (NCPH). Clear writes, “While engaging with this resource, I was thoroughly impressed with its accessibility and willingness to address what have historically been challenging topics for those engaged in all aspects of cultural heritage, including museum and archival professionals.” https://ow.ly/S5jw50TEBfm
