Genealogists, artists, archivists, curators, and many more discussed their ground-breaking work and multifaceted approaches to history. Inspired by this year\u2019s\u00a0theme \u201cHistory on the Edge\u201d at the National Council on Public History (NCPH) conference, Joana wanted to incorporate projects that infused an element of risk-taking. Some of the presenters whose projects challenged the boundaries of public history included Annie Anderson from Eastern State Penitentiary, Ezra Nepon\u2019s \u201cTrans Histories of Existence, Resistance, and Brilliance\u201d in collaboration with\u00a0William Way LGBT Community Center, Maggie Schreiner\u2019s \u201cWe Won\u2019t Move: Tenants Organize in New York City at the Tamiment Library and Robert F. Wagner Labor Archives,\u201d and many more.<\/p>\n<p>Following the initial presentations, everyone migrated to the East Room of the Meeting House where attendees were able to discuss the projects with the speakers. The format of this portion of the day has been termed \u201cPublic History Speed-Dating,\u201d where attendees rotated tables every 15 minutes to discuss the speakers\u2019 individual projects. Everyone then convened for the unconference portion of PubComm, which concluded the day. Attendees engaged in fruitful conversation and discussion, and everyone is looking forward to the sixth annual PubComm!<\/p>\n<p>-Joana Arruda and Grace DiAgostino<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The fifth annual PubComm was held at the Arch Street Meeting House on Wednesday, April 22, 2015.
