This article examines the reasoning, methodology, and implementation of the 1821 Greek Revolution Observatory, an archive documenting the bicentenary of the revolution. The piece showcases the various aspects of academic and public history involved in the archive’s creation, pointing out the many ways that public history records various versions of the national self. The work also demonstrates the pioneering nature of the archive in terms of the interconnectivity of historical narratives and digital ethnography. Moreover, it displays the ways in which the archive’s digital structure will facilitate key practices and usages by historians, artists, researchers, journalists, anthropologists, and others interested in historical culture.

Chronicling the development of Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen’s museal initiatives through the institution now known as the Museum of Pop Culture (MoPOP), this article explores the following questions: What happened when this philanthropist of great ambition and means sought to inspire others through the medium of the museum? What might the history of MoPOP tell us about contemporary issues in the museum? How does the saga of MoPOP challenge historical considerations of popular culture? I describe the kind of negotiations and challenges that faced an institution intentionally setting out to blaze new trails. The narrative shows an evolution in the values of the contemporary museum; while the lofty gestures toward a “museum of the future” or “post-museum” failed to survive, the founder’s vision of popular culture as a viable subject for the medium unequivocally triumphed. New values have now moved to the fore, including inclusivity and relevance. Moreover, the story of the museum elevates the power of the personal and the nostalgic in producing the collective phenomenon that we call history.

In 2020, a grassroots movement emerged in San Angelo, Texas, with the goal of changing the name of Robert E. Lee Middle School. This movement reflected larger national trends in removing Confederate statues and wrestling with the legacy of the Confederacy. Two professors of history at a regional university decided to participate in the renaming effort. This experience taught them the important role historians can and should play in debates over historical memory and commemoration, especially as allies to movements led by nonacademic community members. Moreover, it offers insights on a significant set of questions for US public historians: What is the role of the professional historian in local debates—contentious school board meetings in particular—that hinge on misconceptions of the American past? In particularly, how can academics use their expertise to combat the supremacy of Lost Cause narratives in the American South? Access to information, often locked behind paywalls, and professional credibility proved to be areas where historians can be of most use. In addition, the authors’ experience demonstrates the vital role local institutions play in the lives of their communities.

The Journal of the Plague Year: A COVID-19 Archive (JOTPY) is a digital, crowdsourced archive collecting pandemic stories from around the globe. It encourages students and the public to submit stories of personal experiences during the pandemic. The project builds on the rich work of rapid-response archives in museum studies, oral history, anthropology, and disaster studies. JOTPY reconceptualizes the COVID-19 pandemic as a “slow disaster”: not a singular crisis, but an ongoing calamity provoked by deep historical, sociopolitical, and cultural processes that COVID-19 both reflects and highlights. In order to address the challenges of documenting a slow disaster, we propose employing the rolling-response archive model. We argue that the current pandemic has changed our understanding of crises and of how to document them ethically and equitably.

Blunt Instruments directly engages with recent national and international debates about racist cultural practices, and especially speaks to and embraces questions raised by social movements that emerged in the aftermath of George Floyd’s murder in 2020. To these current debates, Hass adds what she describes as a “field guide…to help readers identify, contextualize, and name elements of our everyday landscapes and cultural practices that are designed to seem benign or natural but that, in fact, work tirelessly to tell vital stories about who we are, how we came to be, and who belongs” (3). To reach this goal, Blunt Instruments introduces and applies a repeatable critical framework... You do not currently have access to this content.

Blunt Instruments directly engages with recent national and international debates about racist cultural practices, and especially speaks to and embraces questions raised by social movements that emerged in the aftermath of George Floyd’s murder in 2020. To these current debates, Hass adds what she describes as a “field guide…to help readers identify, contextualize, and name elements of our everyday landscapes and cultural practices that are designed to seem benign or natural but that, in fact, work tirelessly to tell vital stories about who we are, how we came to be, and who belongs” (3).

Although the proximity of WWII and the Holocaust continues to weigh heavily upon our contemporary historical consciousness, it is the latter assertion—the unprecedented crimes of the Holocaust are “Not Far Away”—which caught my eye as I repeatedly passed by the exhibition’s promotional billboards along California’s Highway 118 in Ventura County, where the RRPLM is located. Why, I wondered, did this particular institution consider the horrors of interwar European ultra-nationalism, racially motivated violence, and, worse still, organized mass murder to be possibilities on our collective horizon? And what did the RRPLM, moreover, have anything to do with the historical memory surrounding Auschwitz? These were the guiding questions which... You do not currently have access to this content.
