| Abstract: |
This collection contains the administrative records and semester projects of the Public
History Program at New York University. Founded in 1981 by Paul H. Mattingly and Daniel
J. Walkowitz, the Public History graduate program at NYU was one of the first of its
kind in the nation. For its first several years, it existed as a three-course concentration
within the History department. In 1985, an Introduction to Public History course was
created, which involved a yearlong collaborative research project that focused each
year on a different New York City neighborhood or theme, and which culminated in an
all-day workshop presented to both faculty and the public, including residents of
the neighborhoods in which research had been conducted. In 2007 the program combined
with the Archival Management and Historical Editing Program, creating the Archives
and Public History Program.
