Monthly Programs

Most months a member will give a presentation, discussing a current work in progress, the research and writing process, or an area of personal interest and expertise. A collegial Q&A ensues, and the speaker can, if they wish, ask for suggestions for improvement in case they will be giving the talk at other venues. These programs are usually held at 2:00 PM on the third Sunday of the month, except for December; exceptions can be made as necessary. A digital projector and screen are available. Another member volunteers to take notes and write a report for the newsletter, or the speaker may provide a synopsis instead.

We try to have a speaker each month, though this is not always possible. Ideally, we schedule the programs as far in advance as possible. Members who are interested in giving a talk or other program (such as a film or exhibit tour) should email president@tihs.org.

Videos of some presentations can be viewed on our YouTube Channel.

Did Being an Immigrant Get You Interested in History?
Open Forum
Many of the members of the Institute immigrated to the United States or are the children of immigrants. (At least, somewhere back in time your ancestors were immigrants here – even it was 11,000 years ago.) For April’s monthly presentation, the Institute invites all members to participate in an open forum in which we discuss wheher immigrating to the US led us to our passion for history. Were you tracing family genealogy? Wondering how your ancestors managed to escape persecution? Were you curious how they managed to settle down in a strange land? Did your awareness of your family history influence your decision to make history a career or an avocation This will be a moderated but not directed open forum. If you would like to put together a short Power Point or other presentation, feel free to do so – but no more than five minutes, please.
You are welcome to invite friends and colleagues to attend.
The presentation will be recorded, and posted on YouTube. If you don’t want to be on the recording, just make sure your video is off. And please remember to mute your microphone!
