When undertaken with care and forethought, interdisciplinary research projects can push scholarly boundaries while strengthening bonds with community stakeholders. Through describing the origins, development, and preliminary takeaways from an interdisciplinary oral history project, Stories of Holocaust Survival: An Economic Perspective, this Report from the Field sheds light on the benefits of bending methodological norms in public historical work with communities that have experienced trauma. It also describes ways in which Holocaust oral history can contribute to the understanding of economic infrastructure.

In 2019, the vor—gänge museum opened its doors. The museum, in a squatted building in the Gängeviertel neighborhood of Hamburg, Germany, is the result of a four-year process involving student groups and collaborations with the public. This case study reflects on the underrepresentation of the historic Gängeviertel neighborhoods and the marginalized groups they represent in the self-narrative of Hamburg. It evaluates the potential of squatting empty buildings to regain agency for these groups and discusses the current public history project from the perspective of an engaged actor. Based on this interdisciplinary collaboration of academia, art, and activism, it argues for structural and institutional change in academic teaching and an increased scholarly awareness for the importance of local networking, especially among marginalized groups, to create a multiperspective metropolitan narrative.

ABSTRACT:Between 2014 and 2019, Great Britain and Northern Ireland undertook the largest public history project ever seen there. To mark the centenary of the First World War (1914–18) thousands of public arts projects, community histories, and acts of commemoration and remembrance took place across the country. This article explores a range of public arts projects, commemorative events, and community heritage projects to see what these widespread and diverse public histories can tell us about the cultural memory of the First World War in early twenty-first century Britain.

ABSTRACT:An interdisciplinary team at Wichita State University with individuals from the departments of Business, Communication, History, and Museum Studies worked with a design firm to rehabilitate the first Pizza Hut into a museum, an endeavor that crossed the boundaries of academic, institutional, and corporate voices. Following the university’s commitment to accessibility, shared authority became an asset in showing how the latest technology was not always the solution, as well as how universal design helped reach a broad range of audiences. The result has been a facility that is a unique intersection of brand history, the study of entrepreneurship, and accessibility.

In spring and summer of 2021, Jilchristina Vest turned her two-story Victorian at the intersection of 9th Street and Huey P. Newton Way in Oakland, California, into the Women of the Black Panther Party Mural and Mini Museum. A twenty-year resident of West Oakland, Vest wanted to pay homage to the women who had inspired her to move to the neighborhood in the first place. Meanwhile, fourth generation West Oaklander David Peters was envisioning a Black Liberation Walking tour—an audio tour exploring the histories of the West Oakland neighborhood known as Hoover-Foster, where he grew up. During the unveiling of these two projects, I lived in West Oakland—around the corner from the Mini Museum. I attended both celebratory events; they were the kind of events that often attract new residents and thus remind me of the ways Oakland has changed since I was a child. But something about these events was different—more affirming. Amongst these crowds of residents new and old was a sense of acknowledgement of the site-specific histories of the streets where Black community leaders and everyday folks like Delilah Beasley, C. L. Dellums, Bobby Seale, and Huey Newton, as well as my aunt Dhameera Ahmad and my great aunt Loretta Thomas, once walked. Through narrative storytelling and educational programming, the Black Liberation Walking Tour and the Women of the Black Panther Mural make these site-specific histories of Oakland legible to a broader public. The Black Liberation Walking Tour is an exploration of the twentiethand twenty-first-century Black histories of the West Oakland neighborhood of Hoover–Foster. David Peters, a community advocate and accountant, envisioned and created the tour. Liam O’Donoghue—host of the local history podcast, East Bay Yesterday—conducted and edited the tour’s interviews. The walking tour consists of a website (www.blwt.org) with nine audio stops, featuring a map of the neighborhood, as well as addresses for each of the stops. Each stop is a six-to-ten-minute walk away from the previous one. When clicking on each stop on the website,
2021年春夏,吉尔克里斯蒂娜·韦斯特(Jilchristina Vest)将她位于加利福尼亚州奥克兰市第9街和休伊·p·牛顿路交叉口的两层维多利亚式住宅变成了黑豹党女性壁画和迷你博物馆。维斯特在西奥克兰住了20年,她想向那些最初激励她搬到这里的女人致敬。与此同时,第四代西奥克兰人大卫·彼得斯正在设想一个黑人解放徒步之旅——一个探索西奥克兰被称为胡佛-福斯特社区的历史的音频之旅,他在那里长大。在这两个项目揭幕期间,我住在西奥克兰——就在迷你博物馆的拐角处。我参加了两场庆祝活动;这些活动经常吸引新居民,从而让我想起了我小时候奥克兰的变化。但这些事件有些不同——更令人振奋。在这些新老居民的人群中,有一种对街道特定地点历史的认可,黑人社区领袖和普通人,如黛丽拉·比斯利、c·l·德勒姆斯、鲍比·希尔、休伊·牛顿,以及我的姑姑达米拉·艾哈迈德和我的曾祖母洛丽塔·托马斯,曾经走过这里。通过叙述故事和教育节目,黑人解放徒步之旅和黑豹妇女壁画使奥克兰的这些特定地点的历史对更广泛的公众来说是清晰的。黑人解放徒步之旅是对西奥克兰胡佛-福斯特社区20世纪和21世纪黑人历史的探索。大卫·彼得斯是一名社区倡导者和会计师,他设想并创建了这次旅行。当地历史播客“昨日东湾”的主持人利亚姆·奥多诺霍(Liam O ' donoghue)主持并编辑了这次旅行的采访。徒步之旅包括一个网站(www.blwt.org),它有九个音频站点,以社区地图为特色,以及每个站点的地址。每一站距离前一站都有6到10分钟的步行路程。当点击网站上的每一站时,
