Purchase options and add-ons

Public History: A Practical Guide explores history in the public sphere and examines the variety of skills that historians require in the practice of public history. It discusses how through various mediums of interpretation and presentation a range of actors, which include museums, archives, government agencies, community history societies and the media and digital media, make history accessible to a wider audience. It provides the reader with an overview of the wider-world application and communication of history beyond the classroom through core case studies for each sector that include ideas for best practice 'in the field'.

This book offers an accessible and engaging synopsis of a topic that has not previously been covered. By focusing on an area of study that has changed substantially in the last decade, Public History: A Practical Guide presents a comprehensive outline of the practice of 'public history', and provides ideas for future methodological approaches as well as a reference point for planning professional development in order to gain future employment in these sectors.

In the current economic climate, students need to understand the potential use of history beyond university; this book contains the tools and advice needed for them to get one step ahead in terms of knowledge, skills and experience.

The author provides more answers to questions on public history than you can think of, especially on the elusive definition of public history itself. A well written organized approach to the subject of public history, best practices, and the historiography of the discipline. The author presents the topics, often controversial, in a fair and balanced approach. Read this book along with Interpreting our heritage by Mr. Tillman and you will be ready for your public history course or volunteering/internship at the local museum or historic site.
