Public History

Public History is the practice of applying historical research and interpretation outside of academic settings, including museum curation, archival work, and historic preservation. This skill involves engaging with diverse audiences, managing historical artifacts, and presenting historical narratives through exhibits, documentaries, and digital media. Public historians work in institutions such as museums, historical societies, and government agencies to make history accessible and relevant to the public. Mastery of public history enhances storytelling, educational outreach, and cultural preservation.
