History Camp is an all-day event offering presentations on a multitude of topics. It’s a self-organizing event known as an “unconference.” It’s fun and unique. Several 17th century-related presentations have been posted:
- The Salem Witchcraft Trials and Ergot, the “Moldy Bread” Hypothesis presented by Margo Burns, Project Manager and Associate Editor, Records of the Salem Witch-Hunt (Cambridge, 2009)
- Behind the Devil’s Shield: Counter-Magic in Early New England presented by Alyssa G. A. Conary, MA history candidate at Salem State University and president & co-founder of the Salem Historical Society
- The Corpse in the Cellar: or, the Posthumous Adventures of Sheriff George Corwin presented by Marilynne K. Roach, author, The Salem Witch Trials: a Day-by-Day Chronicle of a Community Under Siege
- Heroic Souls: Puritan Women as the First American Individuals presented by Lori Stokes, Ph.D.
- New England’s Hidden Histories: The Race to Rescue Our Earliest Manuscript Church Records presented by James F. Cooper, Jr., Director, New England’s Hidden Histories, Congregational Library, Boston
- Ghosts and Graffiti: Superstition and Belief in the Fairbanks House presented by Daniel Neff, Curator, Fairbanks House
Registration opened March 4; this event always sells out.
Saturday night dinner and Sunday events are being scheduled.
