Good morning. I received this message from a colleague at the National =
Park Service. She has a part-time position for the spring to help =
publicize Teaching with Historic Places online. It's a good group of =
people to work with and a good program overall.

Do you know anyone who might be interested or could you circulate it to =
history and art history grad students?

thanks,
Kelly
