Constructive Branding and Research Report Design for Frameworks and AASLH Partnership: Reframing History

We’re so proud to announce that we have designed the brand, report, and toolkit for a brand new partnership between Frameworks Institute and The American Association for State and Local History, Reframing History. Reframing History is comprised of a landmark research report on how Americans understand and communicate about our national history, and a toolkit with evidence-backed communications recommendations on discussing the past. We’re thankful for our continued partnership with Frameworks, and to be part of bringing this landmark research to the public.

More About Reframing History

Born from a partnership between Frameworks Institute and The American Association for State and Local History, Reframing History is a project created to spark discussion on how we can create more productive public discussion about American History. Discussion about history is often diluted to what some believe are “objective truths” but Reframing History exhibits the importance of incorporating new diverse perspectives and evidence so we can better understand our past, and move forward. The project is comprised of both a comprehensive research report and an actionable toolkit for communicators.
