History 305: Public History

With development of the National Museum of Industrial History at the BethWorks site in South Bethlehem, and the wealth of museums and historical societies in the Lehigh Valley, the History Department is developing an active program of internships and collaborative projects for undergraduate and graduate students. In History 305, students will gain knowledge of a full range of careers open to them in Public History and discuss important issues with guest speakers active in the field. They will also produce a walking tour or bus tour of South Bethlehem that local museums and Musikfest can use in their interpretive programs.
