Editor's Notes
- Click on hypertext link to download this presentation from SlideShareUse key to advance to next slideSir Winston Churchill once observed, "The farther backward you can look, the farther forward you are likely to see.” In that spirit, we’d like to show you how historians have been using “social media” in the past, present, and into the future.Our presentation is divided into three parts. Rick will begin by unveiling the Society’s new website and describing five ways it’s using social media. Next, I’ll take you on a virtual tour showing you best practices of social media used by other historical organizations. Finally, we’ll take a closer look at the local historical societies here in the Monadnock Region and engage in a group discussion about how we all can expand our use of social media technologies.But first, let’s consider the question …
- Use key to advance to next slideWhat is “Social Media”? (Tracy)The answer can be overwhelming. To most historians, these icons look as strange and cryptic as … hieroglyphics.Over the past year I’ve attended workshops on social media offered by the New England Regional Genealogical Consortium, the Association of Personal Historians, and the Monadnock Writers’ Group. In one presentation, the dynamic young president of the NH Writers’ Project, John Herman, simplified the matter by defining “social media” as “content distributed through social interaction.” It serves to help people navigate an ocean of web content.In this presentation, I’ll show you examples of how local historical society’s can use social media in three different ways: 1) for cultivating relationships; 2) for sharing collections; and 3) for generating revenue.
