We’re pleased to announce that the 49th annual DC History Conference takes place March 23 – 25, 2023 at the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library. This three-day event is free to attendees.

The DC History Conference is an interdisciplinary, community conference considering the District’s past, present, and future. Since 1973, the conference organizers aim to provide a welcoming, educational, and stimulating forum for original research on and engagement with the history of the Washington, DC metropolitan area (including Maryland, Virginia, and the federal government). The DC History Conference is co-presented by the DC History Center, DC Public Library, and HumanitiesDC; sponsored by American University; and organized by a volunteer planning committee.
