HST 496-596 Intro to Public History

Greetings!

To follow up on our December 4 class discussion, please find attached a few items that you might find helpful.

If there is anything I'm missing or that you'd like added, please let me know by emailing me here. Thanks!

• The NPS & Historic Site Interpretation (a 4.87 MB .PDF file of my PowerPoint presentation)
• Class Discussion Outline ( a 46 KB .PDF file)

Also, here are some links to several resources I referenced during the talk and the walk-around:

• Long Range interpretive Plan, Fort Vancouver National Historic Site & Vancouver National Historic Reserve

• General Management Plan, Fort Vancouver National Historic Site & Vancouver National Historic Reserve

• John A. Hussey, The History of Fort Vancouver and Its Physical Structure

• Barry Mackintosh, Interpretation in the National Park Service: A Critical Perspective
  

Lastly, I'd be remiss if I didn't put a plug in for the class I teach in the spring quarter at PSU: HST 409/509 Historic Site Interpretation.

You'll find a link to the most recent class website here, including syllabus, reading list, student projects, etc.

If you find such a course interesting, please let Professor Lang know; course funding is very sparse and the course is not currently in the funding cycle for 2010.

Cheers,
Greg
