2025 History Leadership Institute Application
Ends on
The History Leadership Institute is the best professional development opportunity for mid-career professionals at history organizations of all types and sizes. Since 1959, the HLI seminar has helped history professionals at all management levels develop the tools, ideas, and connections they need to enhance their ability to lead institutions and the field.
Through a combination of virtual and in-person meetings, a cohort of about twenty fellows dive deep into a broad range of current and future national issues facing the history and museum field, including purpose, relevance, impact, community engagement, facilitating change, and much, much more. Through workshops, discussions, activities, and site visits facilitated by dozens of nationally-recognized experts working on the field’s leading edge, HLI Fellows tackle the most pressing challenges confronting history institutions and develop strategies for addressing them.
2025's seminar will take place on-site at the Minnesota Historical Society's Mill City Museum (Minneapolis, Minnesota) from June 16–27, 2025. Several shorter virtual sessions will take place in May, June, July, and September.
