The second edition of Public History: A Textbook of Practice offers
an updated guide to the many opportunities and challenges that
public history practitioners can encounter in the field. 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. This new edition
reflects how much the field of public history has changed in the
past few years, with public history now being more established and
international. New chapters have therefore been added on the
definition, history, and international scope of public history, as
well as on specific practices and theories such as historical
fictions, digital public history, and shared authority. Split into
four sections, this textbook provides approaches, methodologies,
and tools for historians and other public history practitioners to
play a bigger role in public debates and public productions of
historical interpretations: Part I focuses on the past, present,
and future of public history. Part II explores public history
sources, and offers an overview of the creation, collection,
management, and preservation of materials (archives, material
culture, oral history, or historical sites). Part III deals with
the different ways in which public history practitioners can
produce historical narratives through different media (including
texts, fictions, audio-visual productions, exhibitions, and
performances). Part IV discusses the opportunities and challenges
that public history practitioners encounter when working with
different collaborators. Whether 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.
