In case you missed it last week, we announced that AskHistorians has been invited to present a panel at the American Historical Association conference in Atlanta, Georgia in February.

This is a huge deal; it's a chance for us to present Reddit to an academic audience and explain how public history outreach through the Internet is important. We've gathered panelists from as far away as New Zealand to participate and present on a variety of topics.

Unfortunately, plane tickets and hotel rooms aren't free. We've put together a budget that estimates it will cost $7,500 or so to send all our panelists to Atlanta.

Fortunately, you all have been incredibly generous. Thanks to a grant from Reddit, and donations you've pledged through Tilt, we're now 90 percent of the way toward our fundraising goal. We only need 10 percent more to complete our fundraising and ensure our panel can make it to Atlanta.

If you've been thinking about pledging but haven't signed up yet, please take the time to click the link and show your support. Even if you can only contribute a dollar, it'll be a help. Thank you.

Donated!

356 more! So close :)

Done my bit. But you know, since it's Atlanta, there's a good chance some of you won't make it , will get stuck in traffic.

Just put in $50 myself (penance for missing AHA this year)--we're $50 away from tilt level. Who wants to match me? We're so close now!
