Hello, it is lovely to meet you!

My name is Danielle “Danni” Hurley and I am an emerging museum professional interested in public history, digital approaches, programming, and education for heritage and museum sites. My background is in public history, archaeology, heritage interpreting, and digital humanities. I am particularly interested in living heritage sites, open-air museums, and archaeological sites. I have a passion for Irish history and have participated in two archaeological digs, one in Wexford, and one in Ferns, Ireland.

Additionally, my Public History MA thesis was focused on designing an immersive and pedagogical game design document (GDD) and an accompanying prototype game that explores the rich history of Irish crannogs.

Please explore my page and reach out if you have any questions or would like to connect.

Thank you for visiting!

Additional Details:

I am currently in the Museum Management and Curatorship program at Sir Sanford Fleming College in Peterborough, ON where I am gaining hands-on skills in all aspects of museology. I have an Honours BA of Fine Arts, History from Wittenberg University in Springfield, OH with a minor in archaeology, and a minor in pre-modern and ancient world studies. I also have an MA in Public History with a specialization in digital humanities as well as a diploma in curatorial studies from Carleton University in Ottawa, ON.

Are you ready to...

Collaborate and discuss history?

I truly think the best way to connect is over a nice warm cup of coffee or tea. Let's get a hot beverage and chat about all things history including museums, archives, and archaeology.

Tackle digital projects?

I am well-versed in most digital platforms, packages, and tools that can be used to benefit museum sites and enrich visitor experiences. I would love to help your site.

I believe that sharing history with the public is truly one of the most rewarding aspects of museum work.
