DC History Conference

Join us for the largest annual gathering for history and humanities-minded Washingtonians,

The DC History Conference welcomes students, community members, educators, artists, storytellers, and cultural heritage workers to the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library for this FREE, two-day event.

The DC History Conference’s mission is to highlight outstanding recent scholarship and engagement with the history of Washington, DC and to share that knowledge with an interested community of scholars, neighbors, students, history enthusiasts, policy makers, activists, artists, and more.

Since 1973, trained scholars and community members have had the opportunity to present their work at this welcoming annual gathering. This interdisciplinary community conference prioritizes the local city but includes the federal city, as well as nearby Maryland and Virginia.

This event is free and open to the community; registration is required. Please visit the DC History Conference website to learn more and register.

Note: this event takes place on Floors 1, 4 and 5 of the MLK Library. For the updated schedule, visit the conference website.
