We need historians because the past is never just the past. Every policy debate, public conversation, and cultural shift is shaped by what came before. Historians help us understand context, trace change over time, and recognize what’s at stake. #TalkAboutHumanities 🗃️

In the upper half on the left, bold white text reads “Rare Book School 2026.” To the left of this is a photo of a dark-haired woman in glasses and a bright red-orange scarf. She is seated at a table and is holding a light up to a page of a rare book that is lying open before her. In the lower half of the graphic is a photo of two people seated at a table. On the left is a woman with dark curly hair and a red tank-top. To the right is a bearded man in glasses wearing a grayish-blue polo shirt. They are examining a small rare book that the woman has lifted off the table. The upper and lower halves of the graphic are divided by a red horizontal bar on which white text reads “rarebookschool.org/schedule” and a black horizontal bar with white text reading “Apply Now!”
