Public History
Public History is the practice of presenting and interpreting history outside of traditional academic settings. It involves engaging with the public through various mediums, such as museums, historical sites, documentaries, and community projects. Public historians aim to make history accessible and relevant to a broader audience.
This field often collaborates with institutions like museums, archives, and libraries to create educational programs and exhibits. Public historians may also work on preserving local history, conducting oral histories, and facilitating discussions about historical events. Their goal is to foster a deeper understanding of the past and its impact on contemporary society.
