Public History and New Media

One Grad Student's Exploration into Public History

I like this blog—it helps me form my thoughts. Have you heard of the expression: in one ear and out the other? Well that is what happens to me sometimes and it is not just with things I don’t care about. Sometimes potentially great thoughts escape me if I don’t write them down and think them…

Great find, Rusty! This website is an excellent tool for both historians but also history students in a traditional classroom setting, as well.
