Managing History: An Introduction to Public History: December 2009

Friday, December 4, 2009

Hi everyone! I just wanted to share this with everyone, http://www.philaplace.org/ I actually did some work with HSP this past summer as my internship. I haven't had the chance to play around with the site but I think it's a great resource to have for Philadelphia.

Team Project

Fall 2013
Students will compile oral histories and produce digital content supporting a public funeral for a north Philadelphia home slated for demolition. A Funeral for a Home is sponsored by Tyler Contemporary Gallery.

Fall 2011
You are charged with proposing a public exhibit on the subject of public history controversies that is compelling enough to win a major interpretive planning grant from the PEW Center for Arts and Heritage’s Heritage Philadelphia Program (HPP). See HPP’s 2011 guidelines.

Fall 2009
This semester, Managing History students will partner with the Wagner Free Institute of Science of Philadelphia to devise an effective image management policy.
