Program Description

Event Details

The Pikes Peak Regional History Symposium returns with an exciting lineup of presentations exploring history beyond the written word. This year features many first-time presenters alongside returning scholars, each uncovering the past through nontraditional sources such as geography, oral histories, photography, stained glass, and other non-textual formats. 

Presentations will take a closer look at a Charles J. Connick stained glass memorial window that reveals new insights into McAllister family history, an exploration of human presence in the Jimmy Camp area through its geography and preserving the African American Youth Leadership Conference’s legacy through oral histories. Other topics include economic equality in human remains disposition and the funeral industry in Colorado Springs, rare 1955 photographs capturing the life of Fannie Mae Duncan, and a visual juxtaposition of past and present in the Pikes Peak region. 

Join us as historians, researchers, and community members bring history to life through these unique perspectives, proving that the past is preserved in more ways than words.
