Last week, our Library Practice Leader Gili Meerovitch, College + University Co-Leader Sharon Murphy, and Senior Associate Dianne Chia attended the 2024 American Library Association’s Annual Conference & Exhibition in San Diego. During the conference, a bus tour—sold-out in advance—visited one of Perkins Eastman|Pfeiffer’s projects: the Copley Library at the University of San Diego. With around 55 participants, the tour featured University of San Diego University Librarian Theresa Byrd discussing the Copley Library’s dramatic transformation and University of California San Diego University Librarian Erik Mitchell and his team highlighting innovative new spaces, including recent upgrades to Geisel Library. #perkinseastman #pfeiffer #ala2024 #ala #americanlibraryassociation

Interested in helping school-age learners tell their community's history? Check out the post below. I could wax poetic about how a historical marker application through the William G. Pomeroy Foundation offers students the chance to locate and analyze primary sources, connect with local stakeholders, work with a team of professional historians, take their research and refine it for a specific medium, learn about grant writing (which is a transferable skill to say, writing college or job applications,) think about public history and it's impact, and... Well, there I go. Whether you're a teacher looking to have your students research and learn about an unrecognized story in your community, or a GLAM organization trying to increase educational outreach initiatives by partnering with a student-led group for a learning experience with a visible impact, a historical marker application could serve as a meaningful capstone project, and we're happy to help. Along with checking out the post, if this is something that interests you, feel free to reach out to me directly and I'm happy to answer any questions. I'm biased of course, but I really believe these projects offer students a chance to meaningfully engage with local history, leave a positive lasting impact on their community, and walk away with some great experience.
Teachers, help your students tell their community’s story through our history education initiative! We provide educators across the U.S. with free lesson plans to connect local history to your curriculum. You’ll receive an entire unit plan—at no cost—as well as our guidance for working with students to conduct primary source research and apply for a fully funded historical marker grant.

Historian connections! The SHFG CFP closes Feb 1. https://lnkd.in/eSsN5Kw5 Our program committee is seeking more non-traditional panels for the May annual meeting. Please help us spread the word to folks working on any and all aspects of federal history, archives, declassification and more! Thanks CALL FOR PAPERS: 2024 SHFG Annual Meeting Making History Accessible Deadline: February 1, 2024 Library of Congress, Madison Building, Washington, DC May 30-31, 2024 Historical knowledge and resources should be available and accessible to all. This year’s SHFG conference will explore the numerous and creative ways that federal historians, curators, archivists, administrators, contractors, and specialists are making federal history and historical resources available to public and professional audiences. While expanding access to the past on new platforms has many benefits, it also presents a range of challenges. We encourage submissions that address these obstacles, in either specific or abstract ways, and that discuss how historians and organizations can work–and are working–toward the goal of making history accessible to wider audiences. The Society encourages proposals on the following subjects: Declassification Digital history and humanities Digital preservation and presentation of records Making archival resources accessible Serving underrepresented communities Americans with Disabilities Act efforts Web-based projects Online exhibits History-oriented social media campaigns History and the use of new technologies Oral history

Data advocacy is just as, if not more important, than data analysis and visualizations. If you don't have access to the data, then you don't have anything to analyze and visualize.
