History Question

You cannot complete this assignment until after you have completed the final project!

Please write a 2-3 page paper (doubled spaced) explaining how your final project demonstrates best practices in public history.

Think about the decisions that you and your group made, and why you made them.
Think about how you have applied theories and practices of public history learned in the course to this practical project.
You may wish to talk about how you would do things differently if you did not have the constraints of this course.
You should draw upon and cite at least three sources, using Chicago-style footnotes.* You can and should use course readings as your sources. It is ok to use additional sources, but it is not a requirement. Don’t turn this assignment into a research project!
This paper should be written in an academic style, but use of the first person is ok. This means that:
- First person statements like “our group chose to structure the exhibition in this way because…” or “I selected this image because…” are ok
- Statements about your feelings, like “I enjoyed this project” are NOT OK
- Statements about your group dynamic or complaints about other group members are NOT OK
Do not simply describe what you did. Explain why you did it.
