Designed primarily as the first analytical comprehensive treatment of the new field of public history, this text includes a guide to careers for those seeking employment as historians. Historians have long worked in
archives, government offices, and museums, but this movement out of academia has accelerated recently as historians have realized the value of their research, writing, and analysis skills to careers in many areas of the public and private sectors. While most branches of historical work have their own literature, there is no succinct source that can be utilized to learn about this new field and the opportunities in it. This book aims to fill the need. |
