Public History: An Introduction from Theory to Application is the first text of its kind to offer both historical background on the ways in which historians have collected, preserved, and interpreted history with and for public audiences in the United States since the nineteenth century to the present and instruction on current practices of public history. This book helps us recognize and critically evaluate how, why, where, and who produces history in public settings.
This unique textbook provides a foundation for students advancing to a career in the types of spaces-museums, historic sites, heritage tourism, and archives-that require an understanding of public history.
