Hot Off the Presses

Historians are often accused of having their noses stuck in a book. Guilty. As. Charged.

It’s hard to find something better than a good book, unless perhaps it’s a book you’ve designed and written yourself! That’s been my project this summer: creating an art catalog from scratch and managing its production from initial photography to print. With the help of generous grants, tremendous community support, and the expertise of fellow volunteers, I co-managed the publication of The Art of Martha Herpst, a full-color catalog based on the Titusville Historical Society’s collection as well private pieces. What a thrill to finally have it in hand and see it distributed throughout Northwestern Pennsylvania.

If you’re interested in building a publication from your collection, book a consultation to see if The Free-Range Historian can help! Email me at Kelly@TheFreeRangeHistorian.com to learn more.
