Making Public History
In June 2020 Black Lives Matter had become prominent in the USA and was taken further in various countries . This included opposition to certain statues and memorials , such as those previously supporting slavery. Such matters were raised in Britain, although both disputes in the past and changes to statues and memorials had previously taken place, for example in Lancaster. Within relatively political progressive places, like Bristol, some disput…

Writing in animals in history
This introduction presents an overview of the key concepts discussed in the subsequent chapters of this book. The book discusses the connections between animals and nationalism, and specifically the role of nonhuman animals in the propagation of &s;national&s; histories. It focuses on the business of collective memory, or rather more precisely cultural memory , asking which animals are remembered, which animals forgotten, and why. The book explor…
Public history and heritage
This chapter begins with some non-human animal protagonists and some definitions. The process basis of public history can indeed provide scope for the development of histories exploring animal–human relationships and the material on which this is founded. The term public history confusingly, but perhaps not surprisingly, has different emphases in different cultural contexts. While Britain routinely produces heritage workers, museum curators, loca…
The Routledge Companion to Animal–Human History
Medicine is, by definition, a human-led endeavour. While animals have always suffered from disease, they only became participants in human and veterinary medicine when humans began to pay attention to their health and attempt to learn about and intervene in it. Historical analysis shows that this occurred particularly when human interests were threatened by the state of animal health, and when humans perceived benefits to arise from understanding…

The Historical Animal
The Dog and Cat Massacre of September 1939 and the People's War
During the first week of the Second World War around 400,000 companion animals in London alone were killed at their owner's behest. This was not a state directive. Little is known of this event although details of what was called at the time the pet ‘Holocaust’ or ‘Cat and Dog Massacre’ were not suppressed. Far from the Home Front of the Second World War in Britain being a ‘People's War’, as popularly described, in different ways the animal–human…

Challenges for Historians Writing Animal-Human History
This essay considers issues facing historians working within the Animal Studies field. It draws on historiographical debates within feminist and social history to re-visit debates on animal agency, representation, and the nature of the materials for writing history. While arguing that the incorporation of animals within existing historical frameworks is positive in giving a status to animals' pasts, it suggests that more is possible. It asks what…
Traces and Representations
Although non-human animals have long been recognized as inhabitants of the metropolis, there have been few academic studies of their historical existence. However, visible glimpses of the past lives of animals and their relationships with humans in the landscape still exist across London today. Their presence led to the formation of the metropolis itself, both in the creation of distinctive environments for particular trades or sites of spectacle…
People, Historians, and Public History
This article discusses the experience of teaching public history at Ruskin College, Oxford since 1996 to consider debates on the role of the “historian” and “the public.” Drawing on ideas of Rosenzweig and Thelen as well as Samuel, this explores approaches to public history adopted within the M.A. program at the College. It develops themes raised in the collection People and their Pasts: Public History Today to consider the concept of furthering …

Balto, the Alaskan Dog and his Statue in New York's Central Park
This article explores the statue of Balto in New York’s Central Park within a framework of discussion of animal representation in creating national heritages. It discusses the reasons for Balto’s statue being sited in New York with reference to the competing demands for different heritage commemorations within the park’s space. In exploring the role of different interests in promoting this particular commemoration the article questions a simplist…
The Moment of Greyfriars Bobby
Reflections on ‘“Men must be educated and women must do it”
Public Histories of Australian and British Women's Suffrage
In this article I consider the ways in which activists in the British suffrage movement became the public historians of their own pasts. I analyse the different forms in which the history of suffrage feminism was created and the ways in which it both drew upon former traditions of the labour movement and conventions of public memorialisation. I consider the ways in which the Australian suffrage campaign has been memorialised and differences betwe…
Public history and popular memory
Drawing on Raphael Samuel's work on the construction of historical knowledge, this article argues that British militant suffrage feminists had a strong sense of their role in history. Once the vote was won, militants became the first public historians of their own suffrage history by collecting ‘relics’ of the campaign and commemorating suffrage events. The work of curators, especially at the Museum of London and National Library of Australia, Ca…
An Exploration of the Sculptures of Greyfriars Bobby, Edinburgh, Scotland, and the Brown Dog, Battersea, South London, England
This article analyzes the sculptural depiction of two nonhuman animals, Greyfriars Bobby in Edinburgh, Scotland and the Brown Dog in Battersea, South London, England. It explores the ways in which both these cultural depictions transgress the norm of nineteenth century dog sculpture. It also raises questions about the nature of these constructions and the way in which the memorials became incorporated within particular human political spaces. The…
Making History in Bethnal Green
Standard economic histories dealing with the silk‐weaving industry in nineteenth‐century Spitalfields and Bethnal Green have conventionally told of a slow and terminal decline. These accounts have also informed and reflected influential social and cultural histories of East London that tell similar tales of a community experiencing massive discontinuity, deprivation and decay. This article critically examines such narratives by developing the aut…

Imagining Rabbits and Squirrels in the English Countryside
Drawing on contemporary coverage, particularly in The Field and Country Life, this article considers the construction of rabbits and squirrels as images of the past in England. By the 1930s, the red squirrel had become increasingly rare in the English countryside. Particularly in towns and suburbs, the population of the grey squirrel was growing rapidly. Those who saw themselves as the custodians of the countryside depicted the grey squirrel as a…
Managing education ‐ the local authority dimension
Recent legislation embodies different concepts of education that are commonly driven by the market and financial considerations. The Local Management of Schools (LMS) part of the Education Reform Act (ERA) is very similar in concept to recent innovations in the structure of other local government services. The continuing financial incorporation of education within the local government framework has resulted in the education welfare tradition bein…
Men Must be Educated and Women Must Do If
This article explores the feminist politics of the National Union of Women Teachers (NUWT) between 1910 and 1930. It argues that the Union was as much a part of contemporary feminism as educational trade unionism. The feminist teachers were conscious of the effect of the State on their lives and saw their enfranchisement as a way of obtaining a voice in the educational and political arena. The article explores their development as equal rights fe…

Some problems of constructing and reconstructing a suffragette's life
Drawing on recent work on feminist autobiography, this article discusses the ways in which a range of autobiographical writing was used by Mary Richardson, a former suffragette, at different stages of her life. It considers the ways in which autobiography was rewritten to fit various political circumstances and to suggest political continuity and cohesion. The article explores the role of the historian in analysing her writing and raises question…
The moment of municipal feminism
This paper discusses the tensions in the relationship between munici pal feminism, the urban left and the trade union movement and identi fies the period from 1983 to 1987 as the 'moment of municipal femin. ism'. It argues that since that period the concept of equal opportunities has narrowed considerably. It shows that inequalities between women working for local authorities have widened appreciably, even though the rhetoric of local authority m…
Searching for the past in present defeat
This article explores the way in which former militant suffrage feminists constructed their historical and political identity in a period of political setbacks in the 1920s and 1930s. This article focuses upon members of the Women's Social and Political Union, the Women's Freedom League and other equal rights organisations whose politics were castigated by the ‘new feminists’. It draws upon autobiographical writing to consider the way in which wo…

Teachers and the State 1900‐30
This article explores the relationship of teachers to the State during the first decades of this century. It argues that teachers had a particular ideological, political and economic role within the State. It takes issue with the recent studies of Ozga & Lawn which have invested teachers’ trade union militancy with an anti‐statist politics. This article employs a different approach to explain teachers’ politics, especially those of feminist teach…

Animal Rights
In the early twenty-first century animals are news. Parliamentary debates, protests against fox hunting and television programmes like Animal Hospital all focus on the way in which we treat animals and on what that says about our own humanity. As vegetarianism becomes ever more popular, and animal experimentation more controversial, it is time to trace the background to contemporary debates and to situate them in a broader historical context.

East End Stories
The furniture maker has been seen within English culture as an embodiment of a skilled craft worker. In similar vein, anthropologists and philanthropists working in London's East End in the 19th and early 20th centuries, the site of the capital's furniture industry, saw the possession of furniture as a sign of respectability. However, although researchers have acknowledged the role of furniture in the study of material culture, scant attention ha…
