22 2013 Annual Report National Park Service Collaborative Project
Th e purpose of the OAH-NPS collab- orative program is to ensure that the history being presented to the Ameri- can public in the units of the National Park Service is in line with current scholarly understandings of the past. Th e program also seeks to expand the dialogue taking place among profes- sional historians, by exposing academ- ic historians to the methodologies of public history and enabling public his- torians to take part in a larger schol- arly conversation about the publics, as historians, with which we work.
Th e formal relationship between the OAH and NPS began in 1994, at the Fort Monroe National Monument Superintendent Kirsten Talken-Spaulding with, height of the culture wars, when there left to right, historians Cassandra Newby-Alexander, Ed Ayers, Brett Rushforth, was a growing awareness within the Heather Williams, and Chandra Manning. historical profession that academic history was not having much impact on public per- In 2012-2013 the OAH collaborated with NPS on 42 ceptions of the past and that public historians work- ongoing projects, including 10 new agreements.

While the projects completed through the pro- gram vary in period and scope, they tend to fall into the general categories of primary research, historical synthesis, peer review, professional development, and consulting.
