Gain insight into history organizations of all shapes and sizes in
this book, which addresses the opportunities and challenges of
public historians' work through the prism of the past, present, and
future of our communities and institutions, as well as the public
history field itself. Featuring essays from some of the leading
thinkers in the profession, this book not only looks at major
themes as they relate to historians' work but also inspires
creativity in how they approach their work in an institutional and
personal sense. The themes themselves are important, but even more
important are the articles (presented here as chapters) that
amplify the overarching themes. Chapters discuss in-depth and
through real-world examples, the work of history organizations.
They specifically focus on the challenges and opportunities that
are important to any nonprofit (or small
business)-entrepreneurship, change, transformation,
possibility/opportunity, partnerships-but also those unique to
history organizations, leverage the asset of history to: explore
place, commemorate the past (and therefore better understand the
present), demonstrate how it is people who make history, and
discern how to use the past to chart the future. Together, An
American Association for State and Local History Guide to Making
Public History provides a roadmap of the national discussions the
field of history museums and organizations is having regarding its
present and the future.
