Can someone PLEASE clarify simply the difference between academic and popular history for me?
I do know I learnt it but now that I'm trying to work it into my project (which is due this wednesday) I'm struggling to adapt and can't remember the clear differences.

Public history is "produced outside the academy, either directly addressing a large general audience, or for public, often governmental, purposes” (Curthoys and Hamilton, p8). Public historians wish to provide history that is accessible and easy to understand by everybody. Examples of public history include museums, historical films, radio, television, historical sites, commemorations, and re-enactments. Public historians believe that anyone can write history. Academic historians have degrees/qualifications in history and usually write history books (that aren't often written for the general public).
Hope that helps :)

Hey Susie,
It's me again! In terms of getting the major work done, how much should you at least aim to get done this summer holidays, especially if you are someone who is focused on other subjects throughout the term. I know everyone goes at a different pace but I feel like I need to set a goal for it.
Thanks :)
