What is the Poster Session?
<\/strong>Built on NCPH\u2019s model, the poster session at AASLH 2025 is an opportunity to share project-based work with attendees in a creative, visual format that invites lively discussion. It can be useful for works-in-progress, student-driven work, ephemeral or temporary projects, and collaborative or experimental work. It may be a particularly appropriate format for presentations where visual or material evidence represents a central component.<\/p>\n

Why is the Poster Session Important?
<\/strong>Posters are an interactive and collegial way to display and discuss projects. In the sciences, posters are often used to present preliminary data on a research topic and gather feedback. Participants\u2014whether seasoned museum professionals or students\u2014can get responses to work in progress or additional feedback on finished projects. Students may choose to share projects or programs completed through classes, internships, or capstones.<\/p>\n

When is the Poster Session?
<\/strong>The poster session will be held on Friday, September 12<\/strong>, in Cincinnati. Set\u2010up will begin an hour before the poster session begins. More details about time and room will be announced this spring.<\/p>\n

How Do I Submit a Proposal?
<\/strong>Please fill out the online form at http:\/\/ncph.org\/aaslh-poster-proposal-form<\/a>. Along with contact information and a brief (~300 word) explanation of your poster, we ask that you provide a one-page CV or resume for each presenter and a simple visual mock-up of your poster (saved and uploaded as a PDF). This need not be the final version of your poster. You might think of it as a visual outline\u2014a representation of the main points and key elements of your display.<\/p>\n

When is My Proposal Due?<\/strong>
Poster proposals are due Friday, June 13<\/strong>. Upon submission you will receive a confirmation email; if you do not receive a confirmation email, contact NCPH to ensure your submission was received. You will receive notification of whether or not your poster has been accepted by late June.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

How Will My Proposal Be Judged?<\/strong>
The review committee will consider the persuasiveness of your abstract, the persuasiveness\/quality of your visual presentation, and your project\u2019s relation to major issues and questions in public history and the historical community.<\/p>\n

Design Guidelines
<\/strong>While we want to encourage creativity in presentation, presenters must stick to these size and material guidelines to ensure that their posters can be displayed within the hall\u2019s constraints and, as well, to reduce the cost of participation and shipping. Upon request in your proposal, one half of a six-foot table will be provided where participants can display websites, video, audio, objects, or other optional supporting materials.<\/p>\n

Note: Basic wireless internet access will be available for the poster session. However, in case service gets interrupted, you should save any websites or videos to your hard drive so that you are able to navigate the site without internet access<\/em>.<\/p>\n

What are the Dimensions of a Poster?<\/strong>
No larger than 36\u201d x 48\u201d.<\/p>\n

What Materials Should I Use?<\/strong>
Use laminated paper or poster paper. Some folks even get their posters printed on fabric. If you will need space to hang a poster, please be sure to include in your proposal a request for cardboard backing and an easel.<\/p>\n
