Across the country, museums and historic sites welcome visitors
into a world long gone but fundamental to America today. Military
history in particular is etched into our country's culture and the
public's imagination. The trouble, though, for museums and
historical sites lies in continuing to make it both accessible and
relevant to today's audiences. Through Interpreting American
Military History at Museums and Historic Sites, Marc K. Blackburn
tackles the difficult task of helping those institutions charged
with the care of sites, collections and stories that relate to our
past relatable while still maintaining the dignity and reverence of
their rich history. Looking at the various components of American
military history such as battles and famous figures, Blackburn
provides alternatives to the traditional museum experience. The
21st century is a culmination of the past and it is more important
than ever to remember and learn from the triumphs and failures, and
this guide provides and explains those strategies for making our
stories and collections relevant to modern audiences. This books
acts as a primer for those unfamiliar with academic trends of the
last forty years. Historiography of American military history, like
that of other sub-fields, shifts as new information surfaces or as
perspectives change. Blackburn modernizes this area through new
interpretative methods, as well as through case studies of museums
and historic sites that have created programs, interpretive media,
outreach strategies, and mission goals updated to meet the needs of
today's patrons. Armed with these strategies, historic institutions
will have the foundation to provide compelling, relevant, and
engaging experiences for the 21st century audience.
