The DC History Conference is an interdisciplinary, community conference considering the District’s past, present, and future. Since 1973, the conference organizers have provided a welcoming, educational, and stimulating forum for original research on and engagement with the history of the Washington, DC metropolitan area—prioritizing the local city but including nearby Maryland and Virginia, and the federal government.

The DC History Conference is co-presented by the DC History Center, DC Public Library, and HumanitiesDC, and supported by organizational partners and a volunteer planning committee.

Submissions are open.
