The 48th annual DC History Conference takes place March 31 – April 2, 2022 at the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library. This three-day event is free to attendees.
The DC History Conference is an interdisciplinary, community conference considering the past, present, and future of the District. The conference is co-presented by the DC History Center and DC Public Library, sponsored by the Graduate Program in Public History at American University, made possible by a grant from HumanitiesDC, and organized by a volunteer planning committee.
Since 1973, the conference organizers have aimed to provide a welcoming, educational, and stimulating forum for original research and engagement with the history of the Washington, DC metropolitan area, including Maryland, Virginia, and the federal government.
The 48th Annual DC History Conference will take place March 31 – April 2, 2022. This three-day event is FREE to all attendees. In our annual tradition, the conference will open with the Letitia Woods Brown Memorial Lecture at the Charles Sumner School Museum and Archives on Thursday, March 31. Scholars and researchers of DC history will kick off the first full day of the conference at Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library on Friday, April 1. That day, community-based history practitioners will also showcase their organizations at the History Network. Panels continue along with opportunities for additional programming including workshops, tours, and a poster session at the Library on Saturday, April 2.
