Public history means many different things depending who you talk to. At it's simplest, public history includes all ways that history is applied outside of an academic environment. It includes, but is by no means limited to, institutions such as museums and archives, sites of commemoration such as cenotaphs and heritage houses, and non-academic research avenues such as litigation support and genealogy.
