David Glassberg performs a great service to historians and the public in drawing together this ambitious, suggestive set of readings. My response takes the form of brief notes underscoring Glassberg's points in three areas: the structure of popular and professional understandings of history; the need for more comparative studies of both institutions and communities; and the presence of the past in contemporary exhibits and performances. In applauding Glassberg's work, I respond from a museums perspective with the understanding that public history is contested terrain that demands multiple readings and requires designated social space in which to negotiate the diverse meanings any work holds for a given audience
