ALHFAM 2025 Annual Meeting & Conference

Little Rock, Arkansas


Strength of Diamonds: Preserving History's Facets, Skills, and Occupations for the Modern Era

Arkansas is home to the only diamond mine in the United States. Diamonds are formed when carbon is subjected to extremely high pressures and temperatures. While some objects may buckle under the kind of pressure it takes for a diamond to form, the carbon atoms come together to form the hardest naturally-occurring substance on earth. As historians, we are under pressure to preserve all facets of history, including the skills and occupations of our ancestors. As living historians and agriculturalists, we are uniquely qualified to pass these skills on to others. As we do this, we come together to form a community of skilled craftspeople that can be bonded like carbon atoms and have the strength of a diamond. Join us in Little Rock in June of 2025 to learn ways to preserve all facets of history, skills and occupations for the modern era and future generations.
