Public History

Public History is the study and practice of history in museums, historical societies, libraries and archives, business, and public agencies. Graduate students pursuing the Masters of Applied Historical Research receive practical on-site public history training as interns in agencies such as Idaho State Historical Society, the U.S. Forest Service, the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, the Idaho Military History Museum, the Basque Museum and Cultural Center, and the City of Boise. Students also work as editors and researchers on historical exhibits and publications. Boise State also offers policy history "workshops" and an applied history graduate seminar.
