Our Executive Director Brian Boyles recently met with Patrick Berry on WWLP-22News’ InFocus program to discuss our storytelling mission (and more).
“The humanities have long been something that has existed as a way for people to understand one another,” said Boyles. “A lot of times that takes on an academic quality where people are on campus, they’re in archives, they’re in libraries, studying on their own—to get a better understanding of our past, to think about new interpretations of why we do the things we do. We were created to give people in everyday life access to those tools. Allowing people to not only engage with history, but also contribute to it as well.”
