  • History Truck Unlimited: the New Mobile History, Urban Crisis, and Me
    HISTORY TRUCK UNLIMITED: THE NEW MOBILE HISTORY, URBAN CRISIS, AND ME A Thesis Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment for the Degree Master of Arts in History Erin Bernard May 2015 Thesis Approvals: Dr. Seth Bruggeman, Thesis Advisor, Department of History Dr. Hilary Iris Lowe, Department of History Dr. Jay Lockenour, Department of History ABSTRACT The Philadelphia Public History Truck is a nearly two-year-old mobile museum project which creates interdisciplinary exhibitions about the history of Philadelphia neighborhoods with those who live, work, and play within the places and spaces of the city. Since I founded the project in 2013, I have navigated partnerships with both grassroots organizations and larger institutions and faced a wide-ranging gamut of experiences worthy of examination by public historians concerned with power and production of history as well as practice-based reflexivity. The first half of this thesis documents my key reflections of the first eighteen months of work and serves as a primary source on the project. This paper also places History Truck into a long historiography of both public history and mobility in the United States of America to explain the emergence of what I am calling the New Mobile History, an emerging form of practice in which community members and public historians work together from the onset of project development using ephemerality and movement as a tool for creativity and civic-driven history making. By analyzing oral history interviews with Cynthia Little and Michael Frisch, I argue firstly that Philadelphia was the birthplace of this New Mobile History.
