Who Am I
I am Kevin D. R. Hallatt, a museum professional & Historian
My work Philosophy
I believe in the primacy of impact.
What good is history if it sits on a shelf gathering dust,
for none to see?
I advocate for history to be a vector for positive impact within our ever changing world. It is both a mirror to ourselves and the lens to our future.
The purpose of the museum professional is to be the arc between academia and the general public, not the gatekeeper of shared cultural heritage.
In every exhibit, every program, and every story told,
I strive to connect history with the public, creating a bridge to shared understanding and appreciation.
