In this book, Denise D. Meringolo shows that the roots of public history actually reach back to the nineteenth century, when the federal government entered into the work of collecting and preserving the nation's natural and cultural resources. Yet it was not until the emergence of the education-oriented National Park Service history program in the 1920's and 1930's that public history found an institutional home. Even then, tensions between administrators in Washington and practitioners on the ground at National Parks, monuments, and museums continued to redefine the scope and substance of the field. The process of definition persists to this day as public historians establish a growing presence in major universities throughout the United States and abroad."--Page 4 of cover. 410 0$aPublic history in historical perspective. 606 $aPublic history$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aHistoric preservation$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aHistoric sites$xConservation and restoration$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aHistorical museums$zUnited States$xHistory 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aPublic history$xHistory. 615 0$aHistoric preservation$xHistory. 615 0$aHistoric sites$xConservation and restoration$xHistory. 615 0$aHistorical museums$xHistory. 676 $a973 700 $aMeringolo$b Denise D.$f1968-$0928609 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910463985803321 996 $aMuseums, monuments, and national parks$92087010 997 $aUNINA
