“The History List is quickly becoming a pioneer on the
web for historical institutions.”
“Everything we are looking to share with the public is
at our finger tips, easy to use, and well thought out.”
Jodie McMenaminDevelopment Officer
USS Constitution Museum
“Each year Historic New England presents hundreds
of public events and programs at dozens of sites in
five states.
Unlike other event-listing websites, by focusing
exclusively on history, The History List connects our
events to a highly targeted audience and helps that
audience understand the full range of our offerings.”
Rob WatsonMarketing Manager
Historic New England
“There are plenty of calendar services available
online, but only The History List caters specifically to
the history community.
Their event-listing services are intuitive and easy,
their creators are smart and friendly, and our ability to
communicate with like-minded individuals and
institutions about our events and programming has
never been easier because of them.
I’d tell any history-related organization, if you aren’t
using The History List, you’re overlooking an
extremely useful and effective tool.”Matt Wilding
Media and Content ManagerFreedom Trail Foundation
“The Massachusetts Historical Society offers most
more than 100 public programs and events each year.
What makes The History List different is its targeted
approach.
“It is an easy-to-use online resource that connects
history enthusiasts to history-related events and
programs.”
Carol KnauffDirector of Communications
Massachusetts Historical Society
