The Changing Face of New Zealand History. Indexed.
Traditionally historians in New Zealand practised their craft only within academic institutions and spoke only to their students and each other. Today historians are discovering new roles, new media and new auidences.
Going Public is New Zealand's first collection of essays to examine the rapidly growing field of public history. These short think-pieces by leading writers and scholars explore the connections between specific aspects of public history and the broader field of New Zealand history in general and show some new and challenging ways of looking at the past.
The contributions cover new media, Treaty claims research, law and history, official war history, government history, the origins of public history, academic and public history, museums, heritage, freelance research and writing, history and popular culture and state-funded reference histories.
