Description and Table of Contents
Description
This is the pilot volume in the series "Making History in Museums". It examines the museological aspects of history-making in museums, as well as the relatively-underplayed historiographical issues. Each contributor looks at the theoretical issues within a specific field of study, and each chapter contains case studies and comparisons of practice where appropriate, highlighting good practice and potential ways forward. The book establishes the themes which will be the subject of more detailed study later in the series.
