Welcome Our joint OAH/NCPH program committee this year faced an unusual set of challenges. It began meeting as controversies over Wisconsin’s budget broke into protest movements against austerity cuts and the rights of Wisconsin’s public employees to bargain collectively. These reactions raised questions about the meaning and practice of democracy in a nation where state and national governments found themselves guided by the principles of free-market capitalism. We had, by then, already selected the overall theme of the meeting, “Frontiers of Capitalism and Democracy,” with a view to reflecting on what our call for papers described as the tensions and complementaries of capitalism and democracy at “frontier” moments in the past. Our program P h o t o by E il e e n B a r os o committee, co-chaired by Nancy MacLean and Kathleen Franz, now faced the possibility that we were living in such a “frontier” moment and rose to the challenge of exploring the issues in all their dimensions. We believe that you will find the program this year unusually provocative and filled with food to nurture the mind and soul. Our program contains an array of history and public history sessions designed to satisfy a variety of tastes. We have constructed thematic threads that will especially appeal to teachers at all levels, and we offer sessions of particular interest to those who live and work in Wisconsin as well as to those who want to understand the historical roots of contemporary issues. We have invited senior historians to offer challenging interpretive papers, and younger scholars and public history practitioners eager to try out new work. Some sessions and working groups ask participants to download papers or write case statements in advance, so that audience members can fully participate in debate and discussion. Others allow panelists to think out loud about important historical controversies. Ideas drawn from material and visual sources find their way into every level of the program; we hope this will help us all to construct exciting interactions among eclectic communities of historians. In our joint program, there are far more opportunities for members of each organization than either could ever provide on its own. Obviously, public history will be well represented. We strongly encourage all who attend to try the sessions, workshops, tours, working groups, and other events that might on first glance feel too “academic” or too “public” for them. This is a meeting to celebrate the increasing interconnections and breaking down of hard lines between academic and public history. In this spirit, we hope that you will join us for the Saturday night plenary, a live, public recording of the radio show BackStory with the American History Guys. Our radio hosts Peter Onuf, Ed Ayers, and Brian Balogh will use the history of beer to consider labor, capitalism, culture, ethnicity, and more in Milwaukee. Combining humor and a deep commitment to historical inquiry, they spark deep recognition of how much history matters to a general audience Milwaukee, happily, proves to be a great venue for exploration and conversation. A frontier city in many ways, and the beneficiary of an immigrant, industrial past, it offers its own history of experimentation with forms of democracy. For many years it boasted a Socialist mayor and city council, sturdy trade unions, and a robust tradition of immigrant participation in political life. Its brewing industry provides an important example of entrepreneurial vision. Its landscape still reveals evidence of the city’s long-standing commitment to enhancing the lives of ordinary folk. The local arrangements committee, co-chaired by Margo Anderson and Steve Meyer for the OAH and Jasmine Alinder for the NCPH, has made many of Milwaukee’s intriguing sites available to you. Even as you savor the conflict and contention that will surely arise from organized sessions, we encourage you to step out and explore this unusual, and unusually attractive, town. We welcome you and invite you to enjoy the feast laid before you. Martin Blatt and Alice Kessler-Harris 2012 OAH/NCPH Annual Meeting  •  Milwaukee, Wisconsin  •  1

Popular images of Milwaukee fostered by Happy Days and Laverne & Shirley have become so powerful that it may be difficult to believe that the producers of these programs originally chose Milwaukee precisely because of what they perceived as the city’s nondescript character. Those who pause to reflect on Milwaukee further may rightly understand it as a city representative of the midwestern rust belt, hosting a heavy manufacturing boom during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and then suffering the ravages of deindustrialization beginning in the late 1970s. Less known is Milwaukee’s unique history as a crucible of conflict between competing visions of civil, social, and economic rights. From the forced removal of Native Americans by the U.S. government to the ongoing struggle over the future of organized labor in this state, Milwaukee has been portrayed both as a prize and a potential source of peril in debates over such basic questions as the nature of slavery, the fate of capitalism, and the future of civil and workers’ rights. Even seasoned scholars may be surprised to learn the unusual extent to which these debates in Milwaukee have echoed across imperial and national borders. Over the course of events as disparate as the 8 •  2012 OAH/NCPH Annual Meeting  •  Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Revolutions of 1848, the Civil War, World War I, and the Great Depression, men and women in Milwaukee came to see themselves as making common cause with political actors far beyond the state capital in Madison, from Berlin, Germany, to Birmingham, Alabama. Milwaukeeans voted socialists into the city’s mayoral office on ten different occasions in the twentieth century, including during the apex of McCarthyism. Scholars and activists have only begun to explore the place of Milwaukee in the freedom struggles of the 1960s and 1970s, which included two hundred nights of youth-led protests for open housing rights from 1967–1968. Throughout this span, Milwaukeeans have frequently seen themselves as political actors on not just a national but also a global stage. If this notion seems unlikely today, the reason stems more from sitcominspired stereotypes than the lived experiences of the city over the past 150 years. The city of Milwaukee is the largest in Wisconsin, the only city in the state with a population over half a million, and currently the twenty-eighth largest city in the United States. Milwaukee is located ninety miles north of Chicago and eighty miles east of Madison. In its physical setting, the


Milwaukee Milwaukee

city and its metropolitan region have much in common with their midwestern urban neighbors. Like Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit, Buffalo, and Toronto, Milwaukee’s lake and river frontages have defined its physical orientation. Milwaukee has experienced distinctive waves of in-migration, making it a widely diverse community. Initially, French traders and Yankees from the Northeast founded the city. They were soon followed by waves of Europeans—primarily Scandinavians, Germans, Irish, and Poles—and then other southern and eastern Europeans. In the twentieth century, the city and metropolitan region continued to receive migrants from these communities, as well as large African American, Latino, Middle Eastern, and Hmong migrations. The area’s cultural institutions—its art, architecture, and summer festivals—reflect the continuing vibrancy of those migrations. As you travel into the city from the airport, the Amtrak station, or the highway, and walk the downtown streets—perhaps to trace Laverne and Shirley’s fictional walk down Knapp Street, or to take your picture next to the life-size bronze

C our tes y M il w au ke e C onve nt ion a nd V isi tor s B ur eau

Fonz statue along the river—the legacy of Milwaukee’s last 150 years will be evident everywhere: in the church steeples, the monuments, the parks, the lakefront, the vernacular architecture, and the industrial landscape. Milwaukee’s downtown has a surprising number of wellpreserved and distinctive nineteenth- and early twentieth-century buildings with richly detailed interior spaces. The newly reclaimed “Riverwalk” corridor that weaves through downtown along with the transformation of the adjacent warehouse district into a center for arts and restaurants are two of the many examples of the urban vitality found in Milwaukee today. As you venture inside to savor the city’s varied cuisines and taverns, or visit historic sites, the city’s rich social, political, and economic heritage will be all around you. On behalf of the local resources committee, we welcome you to our city. C our tes y M il w au ke e C onve nt ion a nd V isi tor s B ur eau

Highlights  Public History Commons  To provide a central meeting point for public historians rambling across the two-hundred-plus sessions and workshops, dozens of other events, and four days of the 2012 conference, NCPH is providing a “Public History Commons” in the Exhibit Hall. Located in the heart of the conference, this lounge space is open to public historians as an informal venue to gather with committees, project teams, colleagues, or friends. NCPH members and all attendees interested in learning more about public history are welcome to use the tables and chairs to hold an impromptu meeting, prep for a session, relax and scan the Program, meet a mentor, finish a cup of coffee, or gather a group for a downtown excursion. Like NCPH’s new Web domain, PublicHistoryCommons.org, which houses our recently launched blog, History@Work, the commons space is a venue for conversations that may be happening in many face-to-face, online, onsite, and offsite locations simultaneously—in panels and working groups, via Twitter and the conference blog, on tours and over meals. Stop on by if you have the chance! Sponsored by the Univer sity of Califor nia Press Jour nals + Digital Publishing and the Univer sity of South Carolina

A New Kind of OAH Session    Precirculated Papers by Senior Scholars  This year, the OAH is piloting a new kind of session featuring precirculated papers by senior scholars. These papers will be distributed electronically three weeks before the conference to attendees who indicate an interest in them. During the live session, the presenter will summarize the paper for five to ten minutes. Then two commentators will discuss the paper for twenty to thirty minutes before opening the discussion to the audience for the remainder of the session. Formal remarks will thus end at the forty-minute mark, allowing eighty minutes for a broad-ranging conversation. These sessions are meant to encourage senior scholars to present their new and unpublished work and to further enhance OAH sessions as sites of deep intellectual exchange. The OAH is sponsoring six such sessions this year.

 NCPH Conference Connection—Mentoring  Are you new to NCPH or attending the annual meeting for the first time? Or, are you a veteran of the NCPH or annual meetings who is willing to assist a new attendee? NCPH will match students and new professionals with experienced public historians for the annual meeting. We are looking for both mentors and mentees. Mentors and mentees contact each other by e-mail prior to the conference to agree on a place and time to meet, such as the Opening Reception on Thursday evening or some other event both are planning to attend early in the conference. During the conference, mentors share lessons about their own career path and try to introduce their

16 •  2012 OAH/NCPH Annual Meeting  •  Milwaukee, Wisconsin

mentee to other public history practitioners. The point is to build networks and share information to maximize the conference experience. Mentors also can give advice about selecting sessions and tours to attend, or making the rounds in a reception, the exhibit hall, or the Poster Session. They can share ideas on how they use this or any conference as a source of professional development, new projects, or new ideas. Guidelines for mentors and mentees are available on the 2012 Annual Meeting page on the NCPH Web site. If you are interested in serving as a mentor or would like to be assigned a mentor, e-mail Theresa Koenigsknecht (takoenig@iupui.edu) no later than March 15. A limited number of mentors will be available.

 State of the Field Sessions  These sessions are designed to present the historiography of a subfield and its evolution during the past ten to twenty years. Rather than focus on the cutting-edge developments that might be found in regular OAH meeting sessions, subject experts address how the field arrived where it is today. State of the Field sessions are aimed at scholars and teachers who are not already deeply immersed in a particular field, those who would like to catch up with the journal literature, those who wish to get up to speed in a new area, or those who may want to incorporate a particular historiography into their teaching.

 Turner Hall Service Project  T h u r s d ay, A p r i l 19, 1 : 0 0 p m – 5 : 0 0 p m

As an active “thank you” to the people of Milwaukee, registrants have the opportunity to spend the afternoon helping with a service project at historic Turner Hall. Participants will tour this late-nineteenth-century home of Milwaukee’s oldest Turnverein (a German American gymnastic society and community center). Volunteers will learn about the Turners’ role in the Civil War, socialist politics, municipal reform, and the making of modern gymnastics. Constructed between 1882 and 1883, it is the only building in Milwaukee that is a National Landmark, a listing on the National Register of Historic Places, and a local historical landmark. After the tour, volunteers will help with the maintenance of the building by painting, cleaning, and organizing, as well as advising on the representation of the building’s history for the public. To sign up, please email ncph@iupui.edu (limit 20 participants). The group will gather in the conference registration area on Thursday and depart at 1:00 pm, returning no later than 5:00 pm. Please wear clothing appropriate for painting and cleaning (work will take place indoors).

The Digital Drop-In is designed to help you with specific questions and problems arising from digital history projects. Confused about which platform to choose or how to make sure you’re meeting metadata standards? Wondering how to start developing a social media strategy or retro-fit your Web site for mobile devices? We’ll match you with a knowledgeable consultant who can offer specific solutions or general directions in a fifteenminute, one-on-one session (more than one session is possible if time allows). Sessions will be most successful when you come prepared with a well-focused question; the Drop-In is intended to provide support and problem solving for actual and prospective digital history projects, not general tech support or computer fixes. To participate, you only need show up at the Digital Drop-In to be matched with an appropriate consultant. Organized by the NCPH Digital Media Group Consultants include : • S h e i l a B r e n n a n , R oy R o s e n z w e i g C e n t e r for His tor y and New Media • S u z a n n e F i s c h e r, T h e H e n r y F o r d • Tr e v o r O w e n s , L i b r a r y o f C o n g r e s s • T o m S c h e i nfe l d t , R oy R os e n z we ig C e n t e r fo r H is t o r y a n d N e w M e d i a • M a r k Te b e a u , C l e v e l a n d S t a t e U n i v e r s i t y

For the fourth year, NCPH will offer a professional twist on “speed dating,” creating stress-free networking opportunities at the annual meeting. Thirty experts representing careers in museums, historic sites, historic preservation, historical societies, government, and independent consulting will be available for consultation. Graduate students, recent graduates, and new professionals will have the opportunity to meet with five established public history practitioners over the course of five fifteen-minute rotations. Before the buzzer sounds, participants may discuss career options, professional development, and any other aspects of the field. Prepare some questions in advance, bring your business cards, and expect to do a lot of talking and listening! Advance registration is required. Space is limited. If you are a public history practitioner interested in meeting with students and new professionals at this event, contact Cherstin Lyon, chair of the NCPH Curriculum and Training Committee, at clyon@csusb.edu.

Leaders of learned societies are often confronted with demands that the organizations for which they have fiduciary responsibility be used as instruments in the advancement of a cause that lies outside the mission of the organization. In many cases, the officers and board members of these societies are themselves, as individuals, committed to these causes and can become divided over how best to fulfill their institutional responsibilities while being true to the personal commitments that attract them to a given cause. Labor disputes in hotels are a classic example. On the assumption that issues of this sort will arise again, the OAH Executive Board convened an online conversation on the relationship between professional organizations and political engagements. The discussion, facilitated by OAH Executive Editor Edward Linenthal, is available at http://journalofamericanhistory.org. This session continues that discussion and invites further engagement with these issues.

The OAH Business Meeting will be held immediately preceding the OAH Awards Ceremony and Presidential Address. All OAH members are encouraged to attend the meeting and participate in the governance of the organization. Proposals for action by the OAH shall be made in the form of ordinary motions or resolutions. All such motions or resolutions must be submitted at least thirty days prior to the meeting to OAH Executive Director Katherine M. Finley and the OAH Parliamentarian Jonathan Lurie, c/o OAH, 112 North Bryan Avenue, Bloomington, IN 47408.

Dine Arounds are informal opportunities for OAH and NCPH members to talk about intriguing issues, make new contacts, and get a taste of the conference city. Prior to the annual meeting, individuals who volunteer to be facilitators suggest topics for discussion. Facilitators also find suitable restaurants, make reservations for the groups, and provide final titles/topics for the Dine Arounds. To participate, find the sign-up sheet in the conference registration area and be prepared to talk. Your facilitator will lead the group to the restaurant and start the evening’s conversation. To propose a Dine Around, contact NCPH at ncph@iupui.edu by April 16.

Posters will be on display and their creators will be available to discuss their projects. Light hors d’oeuvres will be served. The Poster Session is a format for history and public history presentations about projects that use visual evidence. It offers an alternative for presenters eager to share their work through one-on-one discussion, can be especially useful for works in progress, and may be a particularly appropriate format for presentations where visual and material evidence represent a central component of the project. Soak in exhibitry and chat with history practitioners who have put their work on display.

This year’s keynote will take a public turn. Join an extraordinary team of historian-hosts for a live taping of the radio show BackStory with the American History Guys as they use the history of beer to explore capitalism, democracy, immigration, labor, and more. BackStory brings historical perspective to current events and is hosted by Ed Ayers, Brian Balogh, and Peter Onuf. Ed Ayers is a scholar of nineteenthcentury US history and president and professor of history at the University of Richmond. Brian Balogh, who studies the twentieth-century in America, is a Compton Professor of History and is the chair of the National Fellowship Program at the Miller Center of Public Affairs at the University of Virginia. Peter Onuf, an expert on the founding period, is the Thomas Jefferson Foundation Professor of History at the University of Virginia. Over the course of each show, the Guys are joined by fellow historians, people in the news, and callers interested in exploring the roots of what’s going on today. Together, they drill down to colonial times and earlier, revealing the connections (and disconnections) between past and present.

Kathy Kean, Nicolet High School, retired, and Laura Bray, Executive Director of Renewthevalley.org Join Historic Milwaukee, Inc. on a bus tour through the downtown, lakefront and riverfront, and adjacent neighborhoods to trace the historic evolution of an early nineteenthcentury trading post to twenty-first-century city that is rehabbing many of its factories and breweries from their former glory days into vibrant new condo and office space. See how the three original settlements were transformed into the national grain center during the Civil War and how rapid commercial and industrial expansion resulted in financing a remarkable collection of late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century buildings as well as several intact working-class ethnic neighborhoods, still visible today. Learn about recent award-winning projects that have successfully reclaimed decades-old abandoned industrial brownfields and transformed them into new opportunities for businesses and recreation using sustainable green design in the former industrial river valley corridor. The tour will finish with a brief visit to the grounds of the National Home for Disabled Veterans, an institution signed into law five days before Lincoln’s death in April 1865. Recently, this one-ofa-kind, thirty-five-acre complex of late nineteenth-century buildings and original landscape design was named to the 2011 list of “America’s Eleven Most Endangered Historic Places” by the National Trust for Historic Preservation.

Perkins, Curator of Research and Interpretation, Old World Wisconsin; and John Krugler, Professor, Department of History, Marquette University. This tour is coupled with the panel entitled “Salvage Architecture: Preserving Wisconsin’s German American Past through Buildings.” The State Historical Society of Wisconsin created Old World Wisconsin, an outdoor ethnic/immigrant history museum, during the 1960s and 1970s. Skansen, the famous Swedish museum, and Old Sturbridge Village served as prototypes. OWW’s mission was to salvage (in the name of preservation) buildings associated with nineteenth-century immigrants that were about to disappear from the landscape. When the more-than-600-acre museum opened in 1976, it had rescued and re-erected buildings that represented Finnish, Danish, Norwegian, German, and Yankee ethnic groups. These relocated structures became stages where costumed interpreters share stories about the families who lived there and the immigrant groups they represented. Bus transportation and admission to Old World Wisconsin is included.

The building currently contains one of the oldest working gymnasiums in the United States, as well as restaurant space and a large, active concert hall. Milwaukee’s Turner Hall was an important source of support and mobilization for Milwaukee’s socialist political movement. All three of Milwaukee’s socialist mayors were Turners: Emil Seidel, Daniel Hoan, and Frank P. Zeidler. The tour will cover the period between the early nineteenth century and the present, with a focus on connections between Turner Hall and the history of revolution and reform, including events such as the Revolutions of 1848, the US Civil War, the great strikes of 1886, the elections of 1910, World War I, and the election of Frank P. Zeidler as the most recent socialist mayor of Milwaukee in 1948. Tour departs from Hilton Milwaukee City Center.

THATCamp is an “unconference” that brings together history practitioners working in the digital humanities. Participants work on projects, solve problems, and share ideas in a day-long learning laboratory. Open to graduate students, scholars, librarians, archivists, museum professionals, interested amateurs, developers and programmers, administrators, and funders from the nonprofit and for-profit sectors, the workshop emphasizes collegial work aimed at strengthening skills and projects directly applicable in participants’ own institutions and programs. Staff from the Center for History and New Media (CHNM) will facilitate. Started in 2008, the CHNM’s THATCamps have been enthusiastically received by participants at nearly sixty camps to date, and appear to be morphing into an international movement! The format dispenses with formal presentations and allows campers to design hands-on sessions around topics, tasks, or technologies of particular interest to them. The nonhierarchical, nondisciplinary, and project-oriented approach is ideally suited to the field of public history. Come for THATCamp NCPH, stay for the OAH/NCPH 2012 Annual Meeting! Graduate students and early career scholars can apply for $500 fellowships to help cover their costs of getting to Milwaukee for THATCamp NCPH. Application instructions and more information is available at http://thatcamp.org/.

Alexandra Lord, National Park Service National Historic Landmarks are nationally significant historic places designated by the Secretary of the Interior because they possess exceptional value or quality in illustrating or interpreting the heritage of the United States. Working with scholars throughout the nation, the National Historic Landmarks (NHL) program works to locate, research, and nominate properties to become landmarks. Properties achieve NHL status through a complex process that involves researching and writing an article-length scholarly assessment of the historic significance of the property. This workshop will teach scholars both how to prepare nominations for National Historic Landmarks and how properties are assessed. It will also provide skills which are in demand by many property owners and preservationists, as well as federal and state governments. After the workshop, participants will also have the opportunity to participate in a guided walking tour, which includes stops at National Historic Landmarks and sites listed in the National Register of Historic Places in Milwaukee.

How does material and visual culture make the histories of capitalism and democracy tangible, local, and accessible to a wide range of audiences from students to the general public? This half-day, hands-on workshop will introduce participants to the potential of using material and visual artifacts to document, research, and interpret the tangible histories of capitalism and democracy. The workshop will draw on artifacts from diverse collections at the Milwaukee Historical Society and will focus on the changing business, economic, and labor history of the city within a national context. Participants will receive a packet of readings along with a bibliography and list of resources on theory and practice of visual and material culture.

Designed for both faculty members and department chairs, this workshop will explore the challenges of tenure and promotion for publicly engaged scholars. The workshop will begin with discussion of the recent Tenure, Promotion, and the Publicly Engaged Academic Historian, approved by NCPH, OAH, and AHA, as well as examples of how these guidelines have been utilized in several departments. Participants will then break into smaller groups, each with a workshop leader, to share and discuss the application of these guidelines in a faculty member’s tenure and promotion portfolio and how one might best craft a narrative to reflect the work that public historians undertake. One break-out group will include department chairs to consider the challenges of evaluating publicly engaged historians. The last part of the workshop will bring all participants together for an open discussion about what they have learned and to provide closing comments from the workshop leaders.

Part I: Oral History: A Tool for Research, Tool for Life This workshop offers an introduction for students, teachers, public historians, and community members who seek to use oral history. It will focus on the “3 C’s” of an oral history project: collecting, curating, and communicating. Within these three broad themes, the following subtopics will be featured: project design, ethical and legal issues, interviewing techniques, processing and archiving, recording equipment, and public programming. Central to workshop discussions will be the impact of the digital age on all facets of the oral historian’s craft. Workshop attendees will have the opportunity to address issues specific to their prospective projects. Participants will be given materials that will help them apply what they learn effectively and efficiently. Part II: Using Oral History: Roundtable of Examples from Wisconsin The afternoon will be devoted to individuals and groups from throughout Wisconsin to discuss their past and current oral history projects. They will provide specific attention to both the process of collecting and curating, as well as communicating (presenting) their results to the public. This session will provide time for presenters to offer some more formal thoughts on their project while leaving ample time for the audience to interact with them in the traditional question and answer and in “speed networking” formats.

Steven Lawson, Rutgers University Part I: Why History? Developing a Subject-Value Pedagogy for the Survey Class demonstrates how to increase student engagement in and ownership of their survey-level history classes. The topic will appeal to community college faculty and any others teaching history surveys, online and on campus. Part II: The History of Magnolia Park, Houston, Texas: Using Local and Ethnic History from the Research Phase to Publication in Facilitating Community History, Historical Research, and Historical Writing in Community College US History Survey Students Professors and their students at Houston Community College are researching, writing, and will be publishing a history of Magnolia Park. Magnolia Park was a whiteonly, upper-middle-class suburb of Houston in the early twentieth century. Due to the expansion of the Houston Ship Channel in the interwar era and due to the Mexican Revolution, Magnolia Park attracted thousands of Mexican immigrants. By World War II Magnolia Park had been annexed by Houston and was Houston’s largest Hispanic neighborhood. This workshop will introduce some of the ways that ethnic, community, and public history can be incorporated into the US survey courses to increase student success and student retention. Part III: George Caleb Bingham: An Example of Frontier Capitalism and Democracy This presentation will concentrate on the American frontier artist George Caleb Bingham, who has been the subject of much new research in 2011 on the 200th anniversary of his birth. Internationally known for his portrayals of the American frontier, Bingham was determined to be a financial success as well as a fantastic painter. He struggled to achieve this goal in a world where photography made obsolete his main source of revenue (painting portraits). He turned to politics and became the state treasurer of Missouri during the Civil War. Coming from a southern background he nonetheless was an ardent support of northern ideas. Bingham is an example of American capitalism on the individual scale.

National Archives and Records Administration In this workshop, participants will learn about the education programs and digital initiatives currently underway at the National Archives of the United States. Specific focus will be on the new www.DocsTeach.org Web site. The site combines primary source content with the latest interactive capabilities of the Internet. Not only does the site invite educators to explore thousands of documents in a variety of media from the holding of the National Archives, it also allows teachers to combine these materials using clever tools to create engaging activities that students can access online. The seven tools featured on the site are designed to teach specific historical thinking skills—weighing evidence, interpreting data, focusing on details, and more. Each employs interactive components that both teachers and students can tailor to their needs. On the site, teachers can 1) browse or search for documents and activities, 2) customize any activity to fit the needs of a unique classroom, 3) create a brand new activity with its own web address from scratch, and 4) save and organize activities in an account to share with students. After participating in an activity, the site even allows students to submit their work to their teacher via e-mail.

Working Groups What’s an Annual Meeting “Working Group”?   NCPH working groups are seminar-like conversations of ten to fifteen people that explore a subject of shared concern. The working group proposal must articulate the problem the group is actively trying to solve as well as an end product(s) that the group seeks to create. Several weeks prior to the conference, facilitators ask each discussant in their working group to write a two- to four-page document that (1) outlines a specific case study related to the working group’s organizing theme, and (2) raises questions and issues with which participants would like to grapple in advance of the conference. These documents are circulated, and participants are expected to take part in active online discussions prior to the conference. Facilitators might also circulate a set of readings or assign other tasks or questions prior to the conference. When a group convenes at the annual meeting, the conversation has already begun and participants are invested in the outcome. Facilitators have had time to refine their questions and perhaps refocus on the issues. Facilitators develop plans within the group to develop an end product, such as an article, a public statement, a list of resources, a white paper, or a new collaborative project. Facilitators will open their working group to other conference goers who want to sit in on the discussion. Such observers may be welcome to join in the conversation but are reminded that facilitators might give priority to the group’s preselected discussants who, by time of the conference, will have met each other online (by e-mail, wiki, or blog) and in this manner, are already in the middle of a conversation when they meet face to face.

Working Groups / Civil war

During the sesquicentennial of the Civil War (spring 2011 through spring 2015), the Organization of American Historians is committed to bringing the best current thinking on this complex era to a wide audience. In keeping with our mission to promote excellence in the scholarship, teaching, and presentation of American history, we aim to explore the war from its beginnings through its aftermath, mindful of the needs of history students, the challenges faced by public historians, and the curiosity of the general public.

State of the Field Sessions  

 College Board Breakfast 

These sessions are designed to present the historiography of a subfield and its evolution during the past ten to twenty years. Rather than focus on the cutting-edge developments that might be found in regular OAH meeting sessions, subject experts address how the field arrived where it is today. State of the Field sessions are aimed at scholars and teachers who are not already deeply immersed in a particular field, those who would like to catch up with the journal literature, those who wish to get up to speed in a new area, or those who may want to incorporate a particular historiography into their teaching. The State of the Field sessions for 2012 are  State of the Field: Digital History  State of the Field: Transgender Studies in History  State of the Field: US-Mexican Borderlands History  State of the Field: The Present and Future of History Museums  State of the Field: American Military History  State of the Field: The Long Civil Rights Movement: Applications and New Directions

Screening Frederick Jackson Turner: Daniel Day-Lewis and the Significance of the Frontier in American Cinema Jim Cullen, history teacher at the Ethical Culture Fieldston School, New York, New York, book review editor at the History News Network (www.hnn.us) and “Common School” column editor at Common-Place (www.common-place.org). While drafting a slate of films for a US history survey in his first year as a high school teacher a decade ago, Jim Cullen made a surprising discovery: every one starred Daniel DayLewis. Embarking on what he half-jokingly termed the annual “Daniel Day-Lewis Film Festival,” Cullen began to realize that for all the legendary variety in Day-Lewis’s cast of characters, a surprisingly coherent vision of American history stitched them together. To put it simply, Day-Lewis’s characters are all frontiersmen, even when they happen to be gang members (or lawyers) on a New York City street. More specifically, Day Lewis’s vision of history suggests the ongoing (if subterranean) power of Frederick Jackson Turner in the marrow of popular culture long after Turner’s influential 1893 address, “The Significance of the Frontier in American History,” has become little more than an artifact in academe. This discussion will use film clips as a point of departure for discussing how the most powerful historians in the lives of our students operate outside schools—and how historical understanding is produced by people who are often thinking about other things.

the subject of much new research in 2011 on his 200th birthday. Internationally known for his portrayals of the American frontier, Bingham was determined to be a financial success as well as a fantastic painter. He struggled to achieve this goal in a world where photography put his main source of revenue (painting portraits) in the obselete category. He turned to politics and became the State Treasurer of Missouri during the Civil War. Coming from a Southern background he nonetheless was an ardent support of Northern ideas. Bingham is an example of American capitalism on the individual scale.

Magnolia Park was a whiteonly, upper middle class suburb of Houston in the early twentieth century. Due to the expansion of the Houston Ship Channel in the interwar era and due to the Mexican Revolution, Magnolia Park attracted thousands of Mexican immigrants. By World War II Magnolia Park had been annexed by Houston and was Houston’s largest Hispanic neighborhood. This workshop will introduce some of the ways that ethnic, community, and public history can be incorporated into the US survey courses in order to increase student success and student retention.

Bus transportation will be provided from the conference facility to a reception at the meeting hall of the Milwaukee branch of the Polish Falcons of America — a Polish-American social organization that has had a branch in Riverwest for over ninety-five years. Beverages and a meal will be included with your ticket to this reception, highlighting some of the neighborhood’s unique flavors. After the reception, there will be an optional walking tour of Riverwest, featuring a couple of the neighborhood’s distinct taverns. (A bus will take those not wishing to go on the walking tour back to the Hilton. Food and drink purchases will be on your own during this portion.) Opportunities to socialize and network with fellow graduate students will be plentiful throughout this event. Graduate students only, please.

For the fourth year, NCPH will offer a professional twist on “speed dating,” creating stress-free networking opportunities at the annual meeting. Thirty experts representing careers in museums, historic sites, historic preservation, historical societies, government, and independent consulting will be available for consultation. Graduate students, recent graduates, and new professionals will have the opportunity to meet with five established public history practitioners over the course of five fifteen-minute rotations. Before the buzzer sounds, participants may discuss career options, professional development, and any other aspects of the field. Prepare some questions in advance, bring your business cards, and expect to do a lot of talking and listening! Advance registration is required for students and new professionals. Space is limited. If you are interested in meeting with students and new professionals at this event, contact Cherstin Lyon, chair of the NCPH Curriculum and Training Committee, at clyon@csusb.edu.

 Plenary Session: Professional Organizations and Political Engagements  Leaders of learned societies are often confronted with demands that the organizations for which they have fiduciary responsibility be used as instruments in the advancement of a cause that lies outside the mission of the organization. In many cases, the officers and board members of these societies are themselves, as individuals, committed to these causes and can become divided over how best to fulfill their institutional responsibilities while being true to the personal commitments that attract them to a given cause. Labor disputes in hotels are a classic example. On the assumption that issues of this sort will arise again, the OAH Executive Board convened an online conversation on the relationship between professional organizations and political engagements. The discussion, facilitated by OAH Executive Editor Edward Linenthal, is available at http://journalofamericanhistory.org. This session continues that discussion and invites further engagement with these issues.

Marty Blatt, Boston National Historical Park Help celebrate the best in public history! The annual awards ceremony provides a look at some of the most innovative work and admirable accomplishments in the profession today. NCPH President Marty Blatt’s presidential address will examine “Holocaust Memory and Germany.” In 2011, Blatt traveled to Heidelberg, Germany, with his mother to participate in their program for former Jewish citizens. Subsequently, he wrote about this experience in The Public Historian. In 2011, he again participated in the Heidelberg program, this time with his twelve-year-old daughter. His talk will explore the dynamics of the 2011 reunion and ongoing efforts in Germany to commemorate the Holocaust. The NCPH Business Meeting, the awards program, and the Presidential Address are open to all conference registrants, though a ticket is required for the breakfast buffet. Attendees without tickets will be admitted after the meal has begun and are welcome to seats in the back or sides of the room.

Capitalism, Democracy, and the Emancipation of Belief Alice Kessler-Harris, Columbia University Join OAH President Alice Kessler-Harris, Columbia University, when she presents the 2012 OAH Presidential Address Saturday, April 21 at 4:30 pm, immediately preceding the OAH Presidential Reception, sponsored by Oxford University Press, Columbia University, and The History Channel.

This year’s keynote will take a public turn. Join an extraordinary team of historian-hosts for a live taping of the radio show BackStory with the American History Guys as they use the history of beer to explore capitalism, democracy, immigration, labor, and more. BackStory brings historical perspective to current events and is hosted by Ed Ayers, Brian Balogh, and Peter Onuf. Ed Ayers is a scholar of nineteenth-century US history and president and professor of history at the University of Richmond. Brian Balogh, who studies the twentieth-century in America, is a Compton Professor of History and is the chair of the National Fellowship Program at the Miller Center of Public Affairs at the University of Virginia. Peter Onuf, an expert on the founding period, is the Thomas Jefferson Foundation Professor of History at the University of Virginia. Over the course of each show, the Guys are joined by fellow historians, people in the news, and callers interested in exploring the roots of what’s going on today. Together, they drill down to colonial times and earlier, revealing the connections (and disconnections) between past and present.

2013 NCPH Call for Proposals

“Knowing your Public(s)—The Significance of Audiences in Public History” 2013 Annual Meeting, National Council on Public History Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, April 17-20, 2013 In 2013 the National Council on Public History will meet at the Delta Ottawa City Centre, in the heart of downtown Ottawa, Canada, with Canada’s Parliament buildings, historic ByWard market, national museums and historic sites, river trails, the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Rideau Canal, and numerous cafes and restaurants within easy walking distance. The program committee invites panel, roundtable, workshop, working group, and individual paper proposals for the conference. The Call for Poster sessions will be issued in fall 2012. As Canada’s capital, Ottawa is the national centre of the museum, archival and heritage community, and its historical and cultural attractions draw 5 million national and international tourists annually. Ottawa’s two universities have strong connections to public and applied history. The federal government employs many history practitioners and creates a market for private consultants. With so many diverse fields of Public History theory and practice represented, Ottawa is an ideal place to consider issues and ideas associated with the theme of “Knowing your Public(s)—The Significance of Audiences in Public History.” These could include: • the changing nature of the public and the evolution of the discipline over the last forty years; • how the public and Public Historians influence each other in the production of history; • the effects of changing approaches to public participation, reciprocity, and authority on Public History theory and practice; • the impact of digital media on expanding or excluding public engagement; • generational differences including Public History for the millennial generation;

• intersections between Public History practised at universities and in the broader community; • issues related to working with ‘closed’ audiences in fields such as litigation, or governmentdirected, research; • accessing and use of grey literature; • the increasing need for audience relevance in times of economic recession; • and diverse cultural and multi-national approaches to commemorating events such as the bi-centennial of the War of 1812 or the 60th anniversary of the armistice of the Korean War. We welcome submissions from all areas of the field, including teaching, museums, archives, heritage management, tourism, consulting, litigation-based research, and public service. Proposals may address any area of Public History, but we especially welcome submissions which relate to our theme. Case studies should evoke broader questions about practice in the field. The program committee prefers complete session proposals but will endeavor to construct sessions from proposals for individual presentations. Sessions are 1.5 hours (working groups may be longer); significant time for audience discussion should be included in every session. The committee encourages a wide variety of forms of conversation, such as working groups, roundtables, panel sessions, and professional development workshops, and urges participants to dispense with the reading of papers. Participants may be members of only one panel, but may also engage in working groups, introducing sessions and leading discussions. See the NCPH website at www.ncph.org for details about submitting your proposal and be sure to peruse past NCPH programs for ideas about new session/event formats. Proposals are due by July 15, 2012.

All presenters and other participants are expected to register for the annual meeting. If you have questions, please contact the program committee co-chairs or the NCPH program director. 2013 Program Committee Co-Chairs Michelle A.

JUSTICE, POWER AND POLITICS

series editors: Heather Ann Thompson, Temple University and Rhonda Y. Williams, Case Western Reserve University The Justice, Power, and Politics Series intends to publish new works of history that explore questions of social justice and political power as well as struggles for justice in the twentieth century. The series will pursue—and bring into conversation with each other —books that use the lenses of justice, power, and politics to help readers better understand the evolution of the United States in the last century. The editors plan to include works by both junior and more seasoned scholars that will find common ground not only in their content but also by broadening the way we think about these issues.

Announcing the Columbia Studies in the History of U.S. Capitalism

Series editors: Louis Hyman, Bethany Moreton, and Julia Ott

Capitalism in American history has served as an engine of growth, a source of inequality, and a catalyst for reform. While remaking our material world, it has altered our most fundamental experiences of race, gender, sexuality, nation -- even human nature itself. The end of the Cold War and the onset of economic crises in the last decade have pushed capitalism to the forefront of the scholarly agenda. American historians have begun new interdisciplinary conversations about the economic order by alloying novel methods of social and cultural analysis with the traditions of labor and business history. This new series takes the full measure of capitalism’s complexity, placing it squarely back at the center of the American experience by taking history “from the bottom up” all the way to the top.

An Endowment for Public History Your financial support enables the NCPH to build community among public historians, expand professional skills and tools, foster critical reflection on historical practice, and publicly advocate for history and historians. The primary purpose of the NCPH endowment fund is to generate earned income that can be used to: – Build a more inclusive membership and public history community – Increase the reach of our journal and other print and digital publications – Provide professional guidelines and other resources for public history practitioners in all corners of the field and at each stage of their careers – Increase conversations across constituencies within NCPH and among public history practitioners

Legacy Circle Joining the Legacy Circle of the NCPH returns the gift of permanency to an organization that has not only provided an intellectual foundation for professional development, but also a home for public history practitioners. The Legacy Circle invites donors who will pledge significant in-hand or deferred donations. NCPH already has received pledges totaling nearly $200,000 in deferred gifts. More are needed to ensure the organization can continue to serve public historians for decades to come. Please contact the executive director (317.274.2716 or jdichtl@iupui.edu) or see the NCPH website for information about supplying NCPH with a letter of intent or to learn more about the Legacy Circle giving levels and their benefits.

Contributions (checks made payable to NCPH) may be sent to NCPH, 327 CA – IUPUI, 425 University Blvd., Indianapolis, IN 46202. Visit www.ncph.org to make a contribution online.
