Outreach

Where Heritage Lab leaves the platform and enters public conversation.

The live outreach-related pages spread across conferences, event archives, upcoming events, and media coverage. Together they show how the project moves through screenings, talks, workshops, policy conversations, and press.

Current live-site pattern

The WordPress site currently spreads outreach across multiple pages: event archives, conference histories, upcoming sessions, and “In the News.” The new build should make this feel like one coherent public-facing program layer.

Representative public entries include COP28 roundtables, screenings like The Golden Harvest, Smithsonian-linked events, and coverage from outlets such as The Washington Post, National Geographic, and The National.

Legacy outreach tree

The old site split outreach into four named public buckets.

Those exact labels need to remain legible in the rebuild even if the content later becomes one archive.

Outreach branch

Publications

The legacy navigation exposed publications as part of the outreach layer, tying research output back into the public shell.

Outreach branch

Conferences and Workshops

This bucket covered convenings, roundtables, workshops, and conference participation across the project’s public program.

Outreach branch

Events

The events branch held screenings, conversations, workshops, and other scheduled public-facing sessions.

Outreach branch

Media

The media branch gathered external coverage and public validation from newspapers, magazines, and cultural press.

Representative public activity

These items come directly from the current outreach-related WordPress pages.

Design direction

Outreach should eventually become a filterable archive that unifies news, conferences, and events instead of scattering them across disconnected pages.
