If This House Could Talk is a community based history and public art project, first created and produced by residents of the Cambridgeport section of Cambridge, Massachusetts. Projects of a similar nature and with the same name take place annually in neighborhoods of Sacramento, California, and other communities in the United States.〔http://ifhousecouldtalk.wordpress.com/category/about-the-project/〕 The concept is to collect and present local history, and historical anecdotes, through a collaborative activity in which residents and businesses post hand written signs and graphics in front of their homes and businesses telling stories and offering information from the recent or not-so-recent past.〔() Preservation Forum, National Trust for Historic Preservation〕 The descriptive signs are on open display for passers-by to read and learn from as they walk along the streets. Exhibition of the signs may be an ongoing activity or an annual temporary event. ==Community Process== This form of collaborative group activity may offer a way to initiate neighborhood conversation during both the creation and public display of the informational signs. In community settings the signs posted for outdoor view present a range of information from the architectural history of a specific building or part of the neighborhood, to personal experiences and stories of the current or historic residents of a particular house.〔() Radio WBUR Podcast〕 Public projects like If This House Could Talk offer neighborhood residents a way to present historical information with a personal voice.〔() Newtowne Chronicle, Cambridge Historical Society〕 This type of community based project is a method for the presentation of Oral history. Presentation of history this way is related to, but not as formal or rigorous as, local history collected under the ideas of Public history.〔() Definition of Public History〕 This type of free and accessible presentation of information in public places encourages walking and exploration of a neighborhood in order to discover and learn from the signs and artworks. Sharing of local history may bring a community together through the engagement with common stories and sharing of values, and contribute to building a sense of place.〔http://blog.preservationnation.org/2011/01/27/if-this-house-could-talk…-what-would-it-say/ ITHCT〕
