Massachusetts boasts a rich network of museums, archives, historical
societies, documentary filmmakers, and historic preservation agencies,
as well as one of the top public research universities in the nation.
Since 1986, the public history program at the University of Massachusetts
Amherst has provided a vital link between the University and the
Commonwealth's wide variety of institutions that preserve and communicate
history to the public. The public history program prepares graduate
students for entry-level positions in museums, archives, and historic
preservation; provides historical services for area institutions
and government agencies; and develops innovative public projects
that engage a broad range of audiences outside the University.
Public History Program launches new writing track! For more information, click here.
