HIST 241 - Public History: Scope and Methods

We will examine the “front end” of history, various ways in which stories of the past are taken outside of the academy’s “stone walls” and presented to the general public. Public historians package and convey history to make it come alive. They apply historical knowledge and methods in settings as diverse as archives, museums, historical sites, businesses, and mass media.
