Dear colleagues 8/2/2005
Even before I finish reading the Public Historian's thematic issue on
"Disability and the Practice of Public History,"Vol. 27, Spring 2005,
#2, edited by Susan Burch (Gallaudet University) and Katherine Ott
(Smithsonian), I feel compelled to bring it to your attention.
At the very least, I'd urge you to have everyone on your
staff-director, museum shop clerk, custodian-read and discuss
Catherine Kudlick's account of her visits as a visually disabled
historian to a local history museum and a fine arts museum.
I'm bringing my copy along to the Visitors Studies Association
meetings in Philadelphia this week, and I'll be assigning the whole
issue in a public history/history of science course I'm developing.
You can see the table of contents and order copies, reprints, PDFs
and subscriptions from the University of California Press at
