The project may be in any area of the students' choosing that falls under the umbrella of public history. Some options include oral history, material culture, policy history, and heritage preservation. The final project may be launched in a community space such as at a museum, in a library, on the web, in a municipal or privately owned public building (e.g., storefront). Consent of instructor.
