The Alaska Historical Society is pleased to offer recordings of sessions from our annual conference for future viewing. From discussions of underwater WW2 battleships to the legacy of missionaries in Sitka to an in-depth look at the history of our host community, Cordova, the 2024 Conference was a huge success and there is much to learn from the presenters.
The Alaska Historical Society offers these recordings free of charge to not just members, but also the broader community. However, as a nonprofit organization, memberships and donations allow us to provide these tools for learning about history. Consider becoming a member or making a gift today at www.alaskahistoricalsociety.org/membership .
