Course Description:

The Chicago History Museum is one of the premiere public history
institutions in the United States and offers an ideal learning
environment for future public historians. In this course, students
will develop skills and knowledge applicable throughout their public
history careers. They will gain a firm conceptual understanding of how
the Chicago History Museum does public history, emphasizing its urban
context. Students will apply this knowledge to class discussions,
assignments, and actual museum projects. Ultimately, students will not
only learn what kind of work takes place in a history museum, but also
how to work in a history museum. Dr. Peter T. Alter, a museum curator and archivist,
will be the Instructor. Several Museum staff members and others will
also serve as guest presenters.
