- About Me:
- Mass Humanities sponsors this project. My email is pbouricius@masshumanities.org.
I am the "Mass History" Program Officer at Massachusetts Humanities, where I also manage Mass Moments. I am also the Project Director of Hidden Walls, Hidden Mills, a project that develops history/ecology adventures in Plainfield, MA. Before that I was a carpenter; drove a Freightliner Classic around the country; managed the Women, Enterprise, and Society project at Baker Library at Harvard Business School; and taught history and literature at Harvard University. My undergraduate degree is in history, women's studies, and photography from Montclair State College, New Jersey; my MA, in English, and PhD, in the History of American Civilization, from Harvard University. I was born and raised in The Hague, The Netherlands, and live in Plainfield with husband Tee O'Sullivan and a dog named Sam.

Mass Moments suggestions go here!
The big one: if you find a MassMoment that is related to your organization, and you'd like your site linked to it, give me a shout and I'll see what I can make happen. Example: today's MassMoment is about Boston's elevated. It doesn't have an "If You Go" feature. However, if your organization has a website with a map of… Continue

Just signed up for this network. Looks great. FYI We printed the Plainfield Calendar at Collective Copies. In the picture I'm the old guy on the left.

Sorry I did not get back to you months ago. I was out of the country for a while and forgot about this site until I got a message about it two days ago and began to read the messages left for me. I know almost nothing about the Hatfield Equiv. lands in Plainfield and would like to know more. I usually join the Hatfield Historical Society program committee meetings in late spring each year. Perhaps we can work on a program for some time in the future. Contact me here or by phone if you are interested (413-247-9349).
On a completely unrelated matter: Did you know Jay Beull when he lived in Plainfield? He now lives in Merida, Yucatan, Mexico and he has become a good friend of my wife and me when we live there several months each year.

Do you know Tom Lincoln at the Royall House and Slave Quarters in Medford? He might be a good person to pull into the "Traces" programming discussions. The Royall House is doing some fascinating work uncovering and integrating the stories of the history of slavery at the site. I can find his contact info, if you want to try to reach him. Annie

My column is "Naumkeag Notations" and the series is part of an ongoing project "Salem Navigates the Tides of Reform" to which I will be returning periodically.
The Gazette puts my articles up under both "history" and "columnists" online. Due to our schedule and my research workloads I usually publish something for the Gazette about once a month, unless it's a series and then they run more or less consecutively for a few weeks.
You can email me at my main email address: ssm@singingstring.org or you can email me at director@imhct.org.
Thanks, Pleun!
The second hour of our seminar includes our program on the women's suffrage movement (which of course involved activism in the abolitionist movement)
I tell you this since I would like very much to be involved in the planning of and participation in any sessions highlighting the historical role of women in slavery/antislavery issues.
We've got tons of stuff to share...
Sure. We're game. Let us know how we can help. Goes without saying that the SHS and our Institute will post all relevant notices, etc. on our discussion boards and other bulletin board areas just for starters.
