Introducing New American History  
heading  level 1  
Don’t we already know what happened?  
Welcome to New American History and to the launch of  
link  
our brand new website  
dot  Each month, you’ll  
receive a short email from us, keeping you up to date with exciting new initiatives from New  
American History and the greater public history world.  
Our new site features work from our core projects,  
link  
Bunk  
and  
link  
American Panorama  
, along with learning  
resources for K 12 educators that grow out of those projects.  
Through the site, we invite you to  
uncover history through eras and across locations throughout the United States.  
As some of you know, I’ve been involved with another long running public history project called  
Back Story.  
A few weeks ago, we announced the bittersweet  
link  
news  
that we’ll soon be winding down  
production of that podcast.  
It’s been a great run, and I’m pleased to let you know that the  
decade long archive of the show will now be a part of the mix at New American History.  
I’m also excited about our latest public media venture: a PBS series that visits places where  
people are wrestling with challenging parts of United States history.  
You can stream the first  
season now at  
link  
The Future of America’s Past  
, and watch season two on your local PBS station starting  
in April.  
And you can expect to see highlights from this ongoing project at New American History as  
well.  
So, I invite you to spend some time exploring  
link  
our new website  
dot  We’re very proud of it, and we look  
forward to building it out with more content in the months to come.  
link  
I believe deeply  
in the good and necessary work history can do.  
We are gratified that you’ve chosen  
to join us on this journey.  
Share this newsletter with friends and encourage them to sign up, and  
let us know about your first impressions of New American History. Talk soon!
