Centre for Public History, Essex

Description

The Centre for Public History acts as a forum for research and teaching concerned with the place of history in public life and as a hub for the centre's impact and outreach activities.

As historians committed to public engagement, centre members explore the rich and diverse ways history is represented and debated 'in public', from the museums, archives and heritage sector to the arts, education, government, business and tourism – in the UK and globally. The centre aims to offer creative answers to the question of how people can communicate history through different media, from film to digital mapping, to dramatic re-interpretation of historical events.
