Founded by Lee Wright in 2013 with the help of John Bell, Sam Foreman, and Liz Covart, they adapted the Boston BarCamp format to the topic of history. One hundred twenty-nine people attended 23 sessions and two panels in Cambridge at a facility donated by IBM.

History Camp is for adults, though some kids in high school have attended with their parents. Read more on the History Camp website.
