Guide to Public History Programs « National Council on Public History. Jobs & Training « National Council on Public History. Before I became a public historian, I was a museum professional.
Over the course of my work and my education, I have come to think of those two professional identities as complementary but distinct. As an undergraduate American Studies major, I found my way into museum work through an internship at the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of American History. There, I had the good fortune to work for Edith Mayo, who was the women’s history expert in what was then called the Division of Political History. Mayo took me under her wing and through the locked doors of the museum’s collections, where I handled artifacts that didn’t simply interest me. They moved me. As a student of American history and culture, I had been trained to believe that historians were objective and that the most scholarly historical narratives were therefore unemotional. I quickly discovered that the Smithsonian’s exhibits moved our visitors, too. And, indeed, I had no satisfactory answer.
