About The History List

93. “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 Watson
Marketing Manager
Historic New England

94. “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 Manager
Freedom Trail Foundation

95. “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.”
Carol Knauff
Director of Communications
Massachusetts Historical Society
