The History List (www.TheHistoryList.com) is used by history-related groups and organizations to publicize their events, sites, and exhibits to people in their community, state, and region, and to people who are planning a trip from another region. There is no cost to list. Free tools make it easy to share a constantly-updated list of events with partners, members, fans, and the media. For state and national organizations, The History List's tools provide an easy way to power a calendar with activities entered by participating organizations and displayed immediately on one searchable, sortable calendar, as well as on calendars throughout their network.

32. “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
Assistant Director of Development for Communications
Massachusetts Historical Society
33. “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
34. “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
