This week in Dispatches from the Future of Museums, the earliest known photographs of enslaved Americans are transferred from Harvard to the International African American Museum, people seeking tickets to a Pokemon fossil exhibit crash the Field Museum's website, and new research shows that AI chatbots can sway public understanding of history even when that isn't what they are designed to do.
This week on the CFM blog, Steve Light, Vice President for Education and Guest Experience at Thomas Jefferson's Monticello, sheds light on their Declaration Book Club and other civics-based programming.
Warmest regards from the future,
Elizabeth
