The Oxford Handbook of Public History synopsis

The Oxford Guide to Public History provides the main discussions in general history; methods and resources consisting of a toolkit for the historian. And perfect examples of practice.

Public history is seen as a dynamic process that combines historical research and a wide range of work with and for the public, based on a conceptual context. Editors acknowledge attempts at inappropriate targeting to determine the general date, and use this book as an opportunity to form the field through a deliberately broad presentation.

They include professional historians who work outside the Academy in a range of institutions and sites, and those who are politically committed to connecting history to a wide range of audiences. This volume provides the information and inspiration that a practitioner needs to succeed in a wide range of workplaces that characterize public history, university history teachers to help their students, and public historians working on the latest research.

This Handbook identifies public history as a professional practice in an intellectual framework that is increasingly transnational, technologically and democratically. While the nation-state is still the primary means of identification, the increase in digital movement and revolution has led to a much wider view and awareness of the world outside national boundaries.

It directly addresses the world's technologically informed citizens and media professionals in the 21st century, in a way that recognizes the revolution in the common authority that swept through museums, oral history and much of the practice of public history. This volume also provides both current historians and practitioners who enter the field with a map to understand the historical landscape of the future: not only the historical discussions of the Academy, but also the flourishing celebration and history outside the Academy evident in many countries since the 1990s, which now constitute the historical culture of each country. General historians need to understand both contexts and negotiate their effects on historical power issues and the work of the General Historian.

The boom in popular history is marked by a significant increase in the making and consumption of history in a range of historical activities such as genealogy, family history and popular collection. Cultural tourism, historical sites and memorial museums; increasing the commemoration of official and unofficial memorials from roadside monuments to state-sponsored shrines and memorial sites; and increasing the dissemination of historical narratives, biographies, films and television series developed in the past.

Much of this, as well as a wide range of new community cultural projects, has been facilitated by digital technologies that have increased access to historical information, democratized practice, and demand for power sharing.
