1. In their own words:
Organizations on
The History List
2. “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 McMenamin
Development Officer
USS Constitution Museum
3. “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 Knauff
Director of Communications
Massachusetts Historical Society
4. “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 Watson
Marketing Manager
Historic New England
5. “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 & Content Manager
The Freedom Trail Foundation
6. “I will say, your calendar is the best online calendar I’ve
submitted event information to. I will definitely upload
our 2013 events, and share the site when possible.”
Tara Richards
Marketing and Program Director

7. “I just heard about The History List and can't believe I
didn't know about this amazing resource sooner. Clearly,
it will be a boon to museums and historic sites as locals
will use it to find events close to them. But it will also be
good for travelers.”
Monta Lee Dakin
Executive Director
Mountain-Plains Museums Association
Colorado, Kansas, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico,
North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas and Wyoming
8. “I'm incredibly impressed. I do a ton of these events calendars and I
dread them because a. they are all different b. they don't give
enough flexibility (different hours on different days for example)
and c. I'm forever scrolling or hitting enter or doing some other
forbidden action that messes up my entries or causing me to get red
errors all over the place. You even let me change font size, bold my
text, etc . . . You've created an easy to use, flexible, attractive site.”
Anne Grasberger
Volunteer
Goschenhoppen Historians Henry Antes Plantation
and the Goschenhoppen Historians Folk Festival
9. “I'm always looking for new ways to promote our events
and programs and it seems like the History List is a great

easy way to promote your events online in very clever
and engaging ways.”
Max A. van Balgooy
President of Engaging Places
A consulting firm working with historic sites,
museums, and other cultural institutions
11. “This is so cool. The History List has events ("bring you face
to face with history") listed on its website according to date
- and if you input your city, it will also tell you the distance
from your home. So you can find fun events (or if you are a
history-related organization, post fun events) with as much
information as possible.”
Lauren Muney
Silhouettes By Hand, on Facebook

The Kentucky Historical Society uses The History List to
power the two calendars of events on their site. One
calendar is just genealogy events and the other is all
events.
They enter their events only one place, on The History
List, and any additions or other changes they make show
up immediately and automatically on the calendars on
their site.
