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 1920s and 1930s 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. 610 10 $a United States. $b National Park Service $x History. 610 17 $a United States. $b National Park Service. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00530450 650 0 $a Public history $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Historic preservation $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Historic sites $x History. $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Historical museums $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a National parks and reserves $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Nature conservation $z United States $x History. 650 7 $a Historic preservation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00957821 650 7 $a Historic sites $x Conservation and restoration. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00957852 650 7 $a Historical museums. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00958145 650 7 $a National parks and reserves. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01033642 650 7 $a Nature conservation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01034632 650 7 $a Public history. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01082429 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 650 7 $a Public History. $0 (DE-588)7608229-5 $2 gnd 651 7 $a USA. $0 (DE-588)4078704-7 $2 gnd 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 830 0 $a Public history in historical perspective. 856 42 $3 Book review (H-Net) $u http://www.h-net.org/reviews/showrev.php?id=42536 941 $a 1 952 $l PMAX975 $d 20191122025122.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=54CB67F20CF611EA99B9112E97128E48 994 $a 92 $b IOMInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
