| An example of project where a consulting historian was hired by an institution. |
The NHN professional development program, “Who Hires Consulting Historians?” was held on November 8at the Architectural Heritage Center. Four panelists, moderated by NHN board member Morgen Young, responded to questions pertaining to instances when they hire consulting historians, finding consulting opportunities at their institutions, necessary skills and qualifications, determining factors when selecting a consultant for a project, and successful experiences with consultants. Audience members then joined the panelists in a discussion that elaborated on those topics.
The panelists were Maija Anderson, Head of Oregon Health & Science University Historical Collections & Archives, Denyse McGriff, Senior Project Manager at Portland Development Commission; Christina Robertson-Gardiner, a planner at City of Oregon City; and Greg Shine, Historian at Fort Vancouver National Historic Site.
The program was recorded and is available here as an audio file.
