A special issue of "Material History Review" (No. 50, Fall 1999) will be 
devoted to the presentation of history to the public at museums, historic 
sites, exhibit centers, and through commemorative plaques and special 
events. By including a wide spectrum of disciplines-history, archaeology, 
anthropology, folklore, architecture and museum studies-this issue will 
address the diverse ways that history has been presented to the public. 
Topics might include the contribution of public history to the development 
of regional and national identity; the study and integration of material 
and narrative history, local history and community heritage; 
multiculturalism and cultural tourism; educational programming and 
information technology. Contributors are invited to consider questions of 
scholarship, authenticity, language, ethnicity and gender, as well as 
regional and national political agendas as they are expressed in public 
history.
     
"Material History Review" is a publication of the National Museum of 
Science and Technology in Ottawa.
