What are some ways to share the history of AAPI communities in the United States beyond physical structures?

This May, as part of Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, join the National Council on Public History, the National Trust for Historic Preservation, and Asian and Pacific Islander Americans in Historic Preservation for a dynamic virtual event spotlighting digital projects from AAPI public history organizations.

Each project—from place-based initiatives and community archives to innovative digital humanities work—provides examples of how the histories of various communities can be preserved beyond the preservation of a physical structure or place.

In addition to hearing from six organizations, this webinar will provide space for attendees to share information about their own work and projects.

Note: This webinar is 75 minutes long.
