The Virginia Museum of History & Culture’s (VMCH) inaugural public history symposium will take place on November 4, 2024. We welcome presentations, panels, and posters from public and academic historians alike that address the theme of “discovery” in Virginia history.

Presentations can relate to either:

1. historic discoveries made in Virginia or by Virginians

2. research that represents pioneering storytelling in Virginia history

Our symposium is an opportunity for historians to share their work in a supportive, public-centric environment that values accessibility and engaging storytelling. The VMHC looks forward to welcoming you to share new perspectives on the unparalleled history of Virginia.

Deadline: April 14, 2023
