Abstract

This article discusses an example of public history on the theme of civilian internment during the First World War. It demonstrates how academic arguments around, for example, violence, gender, globality, and historical continuities can be presented to local audiences through contextualisation and primary sources. It argues that more collaboration between academics, curators and education specialists is desirable for high-quality public representations of historical themes.
