Our talks and presentations are a great way to learn and dialog about architecture, preservation, and the communities in our region and beyond. AARCH has presented talks from Herkimer to Chazy, Big Moose Lake to Diamond Point, and many locations in-between. We also partner with many regional and statewide friends and supporters to deliver presentations and webinars on numerous topics that intersect with historic preservation and our work in communities across the Adirondacks.
If you would like to explore a topic with us, speak on a related subject, or share your suggestions, please contact AARCH.
Although these programs are offered for free, AARCH asks attendees to consider a donation. Your generosity helps ensure programs like this can keep happening throughout the year. Check out the archives pages below or our YouTube page to watch past webinars.
Marking History with the William G. Pomeroy Foundation
Thursday, February 26, 2026
In this webinar, AARCH was joined by our friends at the William G. Pomeroy Foundation for a closer look at the Foundation’s grant programs, which fully fund roadside markers highlighting the historical people, places, and events your community values. We explored several of the Foundation’s grant programs supporting markers that recognize local history across New York State, as well as signage for public properties and historic districts listed on the National Register of Historic Places. We also covered the national Pomeroy Education Program, through which students conduct primary-source research and make lasting contributions to their communities.
This webinar is perfect for educators, municipal leaders, nonprofit professionals, students, and anyone interested in recognizing and celebrating local history.
Book Talk: The First Adirondackers with Curt Stager and David Kanietakeron Fadden
Thursday, March 26, 2026
In this webinar, AARCH hosted a conversation about the recent book, The First Adirondackers: 12,000 Years of Indigenous Peoples in the Adirondack Uplands. Co-authored by Curt Stager and David Kanietakeron Fadden, this book challenges the widespread, long-standing belief that the Adirondack uplands of northern New York were uninhabited before the arrival of European colonizers.
In this discussion, authors Curt Stager, PhD, and David Kanietakeron Fadden shed light on the cultural history of the Adirondacks outside of the widely-told Eurocentric version, helping not only to redefine what it means to be an Adirondacker, but also contributing to a more complete understanding of America itself.
