Public history is the practice of conveying history to the public outside of a traditional academic setting. Public historians are historians who work in museums, historic homes, sites, parks and battlefields, archives, preservation, government agencies, corporations, or private historical and genealogical research consultant firms. They may also be living historians and interpreters. Public history is history that both engages the public and invites the public to participate in the writing of history.
