Zoom History Happy Hour: Revolutionary Collections

Revolutionary Collections: Late 18th Century Treasures from Mass Historical, Maine Historical, and Pejepscot History The best way to understand what the Revolutionary Era was like is to delve into the primary sources of the day. This fun show-and-tell Zoom panel shares documents, objects, and artwork dated in and around 1776 to put you in the moment. We’ll start with the largest circle of context—Massachusetts, then move to Maine generally, and finally to our three towns. Presenters: Kanisorn Wongsrichanalai, Peter Drummey Chief Historian, Massachusetts Historical Society Kathleen Neumann, Curator of Education and Public Programs, Maine Historical Society Robin Davis, Manager of Collections and Research, Pejepscot History Center Moderated by Larissa Picard, Executive Director, PHC This program is sponsored by the The Object of History, a podcast by the Massachusetts Historical Society. This podcast introduces listeners to manuscripts, artifacts, and objects in our vast collection. We also speak with experts like Daniel Bottino, who was featured on an episode of the podcast, to learn more about the background of the items we are highlighting.
