“Sharing Our Past — Shaping Our Future” Since 1974

The Vermont Humanities Council (VHC) Speakers Bureau brings humanities lectures and presentations to communities across the state. Every year our speakers make more than 150 appearances at local libraries, historical societies, senior centers, and other places in the community.

 

Our new catalogue offers more than eighty-five programs, including five new speakers and seventeen new lectures. Since 1978, nonprofit organizations have presented VHC speakers for free, public events. This new, expanded catalogue enables Vermont communities—large and small—to enjoy a rich sampling of the humanities.

 

This catalogue includes all the information and materials needed to apply for VHC Speakers Bureau programs. We offer two types of programs: History Alive! presentations and lectures. All programs afford opportunity for discussion.

 

Whether you want to listen to Mark Twain, learn about endangered alphabets, hear about the history of the guitar in America, ponder stories of Vermont’s Civil War regiments—and many more topics—the Speakers Bureau lets you bring an informative and thought-provoking event to your community.

 

The Speakers Bureau catalogue is only as a PDF or as a print out. If you cannot download a file this large, contact VHC and we will mail one to you. Thank you!
