How You Understand Your Story
This chapter argues that Cambodian and Cambodian American survivors of genocide avoid telling and documenting their personal stories of trauma because the rendering of these stories complicates the community’s understanding of morality. This is in part because the circumstances of the Khmer Rouge genocide were such that no clear “other” enemy emerged—a genocide perpetrated by and on Cambodians. By speaking out and telling their stories through or…
Shaping Institutional Memory
In the wake of the Watergate scandal, the historian Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr. urged the leaders of the U.S. Senate to do more about opening the records of the legislative branch. His appeal led to the creation of the Senate Historical Office in 1975 and indirectly in 1983 to its counterpart in the House of Representatives. The two legislative bodies differ greatly in structure and traditions, and their separate historical offices have also evolve…
Slavery Tourism
This chapter presents a case study of the slavery tourism industry in Ghana, tracing its development and noting some of the struggles it has faced. Based around the dungeons in the Cape Coast and Elmina castles used to warehouse slaves bound for the Atlantic trade, Ghana’s slavery tourism industry emerged in the 1990s through complex negotiations among different interested parties. The chapter notes in particular the disjuncture between Ghanaian …
Good Enough for Government Work
Government-supported history is as broad and many faceted as the field of public history itself, including not only research and public programming in museums and historic sites but also client-oriented research in the executive, legislative, and military branches of government. This chapter focuses on the work of historians who help to solve problems and provide context for the ongoing work of government agencies and institutions. Serving policy…
Politics and Memory
This chapter focuses on how German politics and society have approached the difficult history of a country that caused World War II and the extermination of millions of Jews during Nazi rule. Hope and memory or expectation and experience are introduced as two major theoretical categories that determine the degree of a successful historical reflection. The manifestations of memory in institutions of public history such as historical sites, monumen…
Public History as a Social Form of Knowledge
This chapter argues that history is not a given, but a construction involving choices drawn from materials garnered from the past and made by different individuals, institutions, nations, and communities that change over time. It focuses on the process whereby materials, in and outside the archive, representing traces of the past, become appropriated into histories. This approaches emphasizes knowledge as a social construction that embodies exper…
In the Service of the State
Public history in Indonesia today faces considerable challenges. Despite the downfall of the New Order regime, its nationalist history program and agenda remain powerful in the culture. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the construction and use of authorized monuments and memorials. Monuments and memorials are evocative and affective; they promote and perpetuate emotional bonds. Drawing on familiar materials and symbols, they are aimed at par…
Sexuality and the Cities
The Twin Cities GLBT Oral History Project, launched in 2003, was a collective devoted to documenting and interpreting the formation of queer identities and politics in the Twin Cities through the collection of oral histories, through other forms of archival and ethnographic research, and via community-engaged collaborative public projects. This chapter examines the project’s formation and history as well as the challenges of working in an interdi…
The Past and Future of Public History
Against a background of extensive political and social change across the world since the 1990s, this chapter explores the development of public history in an international context. It charts the definitional issues in public history, the spread of public history as a concept and practice, and the development of training programs in several countries, outlining differences and similarities. It also examines the changing context for public history …
Trading Zones
Because of the determined efforts of disability activists, public historians, and other scholars, the hidden history of disabled people is emerging in the public sphere. Although museums and other cultural institutions hold wide-ranging material in their collections that links to the lives of disabled people, its significance is often underresearched and poorly understood. Although disabled people desire greater visibility, like other groups who …
Internationalizing Public History
This chapter explores the transformation of public history in relation to internationalization in the humanities, audiences, media, and historian networks. The rising number of public history programs worldwide provides opportunities for international collaboration and discussion. We posit that the multiplication of international public history projects and programs and the global use of the English language and the Internet encourage new histori…
The Oxford Handbook of Public History
Public history is a large and complex field, with boundaries, methods, and subjects that are hotly debated. This handbook reflects the complexities of the subject, while at the same time helping to shape it. It introduces the major debates within public history; the methods and sources that comprise a public historian’s toolkit; and exemplary examples of practice. The book views public history as a dynamic process combining the hands-on skills of…
Between Pastness and Presentism
This chapter traces the separation of preserved historical farm landscapes from working agriculture over the two-century history of industrial ascendancy, the dominance of fossil fuels after World War II, and the emergence of a for-profit/nonprofit and public/private divide within the increasingly revitalized world of small-scale farming. It argues that there are several benefits to public historians of aligning their work more closely with "loca…
Trust, Risk and Public History
In the public history and museum communities today there is much difference of opinion over the concept of 'radical trust,' which basically argues for us to give up control and trust the public to develop content for our websites and exhibitions and provide direction for our work. Most public historians and curators are happy to share authority with the public, but are we now expected to yield all authority? Are we now taking historian Carl Becke…
Contested Terrain
How does the public understand and use the past? What role should historians and historical scholarship play in the public's understanding of the past? How do we as historians address our responsibilities to the public and still remain advocates for history and scholarly integrity? How do we make the difficult choices that are our responsibility to make? This essay argues that historians working in museums must be advocates for both history and o…
September 11 and the Mourning after
In the aftermath of September 11, public historians working in museums have faced new challenges to our sense of our work and ourselves as professionals. In addressing our collecting and interpretive responsibilities, we have had to grapple with the tension between our sense of obligation to the historic nature of the events and their aftermath and our concern that we are still too close to them to be able to judge clearly what is truly historica…
