Discovering Public History in an Unlikely Place
Discovering Public History in an Unlikely Place
UC, Santa Barbara, 1976 and After
This chapter discusses the pioneering public history program at the University of California, Santa Barbara, where the term was coined and the National Council on Public History was founded. It offers a complex interpretation of the relations between the Organization of American Historians (OAH) and the movement, suggesting that, beginning in the late 1970s, the OAH often reached out to public historians and made progress. The chapter also comments that many academics need to pay more attention to what public historians can offer.
