- 摘要: Public History: A Textbook of Practice provides a survey of the public historian's work and coverage of the applied methodologies used by public historians. Relying on this framework, instructors and practitioners may then branch out to the diverse and complex literature of the various fields involved in the profession. This well-rounded approach is presented in three parts: Part One discusses the history of public history and the ways in which the field has developed over time; Part Two focuses on the approaches that are the core elements of practice; and Part Three introduces the reader to some of the issues that distinguish public practice from teaching in universities. Two of the keys themes developed in the book include the international dimension and the presentation of digital tools for public historians and public history teaching. Web links are integrated throughout the text and available live with the electronic version.

Public History: A Textbook of Practice is a guide to the many challenges historians face while teaching, learning, and practicing public history. Historians can play a dynamic and essential role in contributing to public understanding of the past, and those who work in historic preservation, in museums and archives, in government agencies, as consultants, as oral historians, or who manage crowdsourcing projects need very specific skills. This book links theory and practice and provides students and practitioners with the tools to do public history in a wide range of settings. The text engages throughout with key issues such as public participation, digital tools and media, and the internationalization of public history. Part One focuses on public history sources, and offers an overview of the creation, collection, management, and preservation of public history materials (archives, material culture, oral materials, or digital sources). Chapters cover sites and institutions such as archival repositories and museums, historic buildings and structures, and different practices such as collection management, preservation (archives, objects, sounds, moving images, buildings, sites, and landscape), oral history, and genealogy. Part Two deals with the different ways in which public historians can produce historical narratives through different media (including exhibitions, film, writing, and digital tools). The last part explores the challenges and ethical issues that public historians will encounter when working with different communities and institutions. Either in public history methods courses or as a resource for practicing public historians, this book lays the groundwork for making meaningful connections between historical sources and popular audiences.
