Videos from History Camp Boston 2018
Before we get to my talk, though, the video shows a History Camp tradition of going around the room so all the attendees can introduce themselves and their interests in history. In earlier years, we did this in a plenary session with everyone. This year’s Boston convention was too large for that, so we did it after dispersing to the lecture halls for the opening sessions. That part of the video is a useful answer to the question “What sort of people do you meet at History Camp?”
The History List has also posted videos of several other sessions made throughout that day. Those that might be of particular interest for Boston 1775 readers include:
- Alyssa G. A. Conary, ”Behind the Devil’s Shield: Counter-Magic in Early New England”
- Margo Burns, ”The Salem Witchcraft Trials and Ergot, the ‘Moldy Bread’ Hypothesis“
- Marilynne K. Roach, “The Corpse in the Cellar: or, the Posthumous Adventures of Sheriff George Corwin”
- Samuel Forman, “War, Espionage, and Intrigue—Dr. Warren on the Eve of Revolution”
- Stephen Knott, “The Founding Fathers and Covert Operations”
- Patrick Gabridge and Courtney O’Connor, “Using the Hancock Door to Unlock Unheard Historical Voices”
- Podcasters panel with Liz Covart of Ben Franklin’s World, Jake Sconyers of HUB History, Ed O’Donnell of In the Past Lane, Mick Sullivan of The Past and the Curious, and Tracy V. Wilson of Stuff You Missed in History Class
