About The History List

Page 93: 88 social media examples from historical societies, historic sites, history museums, and other history organizations

“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

Page 94: 88 social media examples from historical societies, historic sites, history museums, and other history organizations

“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

Page 95: 88 social media examples from historical societies, historic sites, history museums, and other history organizations

“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.”
