- Who does SALHA serve?
The San Antonio Living History Association serves its members by educating them on how to research Texas history and then by training them in the craft of living history interpretation. Reenactor members visit historical sites where they share these acquired skills with audiences at SALHA public living history programs and events.
Want to learn about living history and share it with others?
Welcome to all! You are invited to join this interesting craft.
- How can you start?
Join the San Antonio Living History Association, as a student, individual or family member and become active in all its activities. You may select membership as a living history reenactor with heritage skills or join as a SALHA support member to participate as a program or event supporter (non-reenactor).to help in sharing our historical and educational goals with the visiting public (residents, students and tourists).
Living history reenactor members will be assisted in developing a historical persona, learning how to demonstrate period skills typical of their selected persona, learn about authentically researched clothing for your persona, receive access to SALHA resources for the clothing and accoutrements worn by your persona, and shown presentation techniques of living history interpretation.
SALHA support members (non-reenactors) are much needed for event planning, logistics and other technical skills. Example: Event Setup, Registration, A/V, Photography, Security, Social Media, Marketing, Website, Sponsorships, etc.
