Our Shared History

“Join the Maria Rogers Oral History Program and BPLD’s Carnegie Library for Local History in 2026 for four community building sessions in commemoration of the United States’ 250th birthday and Colorado’s 150th birthday. Through quarterly public oral history listening sessions, the Boulder community will come together over Our Shared History and reflect on the voices of the past as well as how our lives intertwine in the present. Each of the four quarterly sessions will have a different focus related to America 250 – Colorado 150 and take place and the Main BPLD branch.
