Telling Untold Histories is New Jersey’s annual Unconference that looks for human stories yet to be told – explores these histories and asks why some stories remain untold. Our theme for this year is sanctuary spaces. How can our institutions be sanctuary spaces for diverse communities?
Because we value the knowledge you bring, this Unconference puts you at the center. Participants create the program by suggesting and choosing sessions on the day of the Unconference. Feel the suspense building! Workshops offer attendees the chance to learn new skills to help you tell stories. Discussions and activities connect you with new people and leave you inspired. Join us!
Who should attend? Curators and educators, archivists and archaeologists, oral historians and librarians, historic preservationists and community activists, as well as grant-makers, funders, and history lovers!
