Introduction to The Dublin Seminar at 50
I will never forget my first Dublin Seminar for New England Folklife. In June 1987, I was a nervous undergraduate just two weeks into the Historic Deerfield Summer Fellowship Program at Historic Deerfield, a museum of early American history and culture in Deerfield, Massachusetts. Attendance at the Seminar was mandatory. The subject was “Early American Probate Inventories.”1 Together with my nine fellow fellows, I joined the registrants crowded i…
The Dublin Seminar as Public History
Though my initial encounter with the Dublin Seminar was as a budding early Americanist, I returned to Historic Deerfield, and to the Seminar, as a graduate student nurturing an interest in public history—or, “pastkeeping,” to use Michael C. Batinski's valuable, and now my preferred, term to describe the work of stewarding memory, whether by museum and library professionals, preservationists, or community and family members.1 At my second Seminar,…
Telling American Stories
This article examines Mattel’s mid-1990s American Stories Collection—a short-lived line of Barbie dolls depicting moments from U.S. history—as a lens on the intersection of popular culture, material culture, and collective memory during the “History Wars” of the 1990s. Created in part to compete with Pleasant Company’s American Girls and to appeal simultaneously to children and adult collectors, the series distilled iconic historical themes—Pilgr…
Monuments in Flax and Wool
Mary Wait Allis Hurlbut embroidered an heirloom piano scarf in 1916, celebrating her Massachusetts family history as well as hundreds of years of female fiber tradition in New England. Her needlework, completed in the last year of her life, was and remains a monument in flax and wool. Close consideration of Hurlbut’s piano scarf informs collective thinking about needlework and identity, about Colonial Revival needlework, and the specific work her…
Joining reinterpretation to reparations
In 1752, on land cultivated by Nonotuck and other Indigenous people for millennia, Moses and Elizabeth Porter established a farmstead along the Connecticut River in Western Massachusetts. This property remained in the family for 200 years, becoming a museum in 1949. A traditional historic house museum for decades, more recently the Porter-Phelps-Huntington Museum has shifted focus to the site’s enslaved, indigenous, and hired laborers. More inclu…

Pulling from Outside, Pushing from Inside
In 2011, the Organization of American Historians (OAH) released Imperiled Promise: The State of History in the National Park Service, a multi-year team-authored study commissioned by the NPS Chief Historian.

"My Part Alone"
rOO is better than one for if one fall the other can lift him I up but i must act my Part alone. When Rebecca Dickinson offered that sentiment in the summer of 1789, she wrote out of years of experience. An evening at the home of her brother had put her in a thoughtful mood, for visiting there was Henry Dodge, an old batchelor who had courted her sister Irene over fifteen years before. Irene had long since married, but Henry had not. He appeared …
