Public History ist ein Projekt der Zeitgeschichte, schreiben Hanno Hochmuth und Irmgard Zündorf in ihrem Kommentar. Diese Nähe beschränke sich nicht nur auf die historischen Parallelen ihrer Etablierung, sondern beide Subdisziplinen seien auch inhaltlich und institutionell eng miteinander verknüpft. Die Autoren beschreiben die Ursachen dafür und diskutieren die wissenschaftliche Verortung ebenso wie die gesellschaftlichen Potenziale der Public History.
A growing international interest in history, often referred to as the "history boom", has been evident since the 1970s. This is reflected in a quantitative increase in the demand as well as the supply of a range of products communicating history, products aimed at a broad public and not at a limited readership with specialist training. The number of visitors to historical exhibits is increasing as new museums and memorials are opened and new monuments are dedicated. Historical movies – feature and documentary films as well as docudramas – are aired on prime-time television, and cinema is rediscovering historical themes. The number of scholarly historical publications is growing, alongside works for general readers as well as historical novels.
