Abstract
Abstract The emergence of the “new western history” movement two decades ago was marked by two key events. The first was the publication in 1987 of Patricia Nelson Limerick's Legacy of Conquest: The Unbroken Past of the American West. The second was a 1989 symposium in Santa Fe, New Mexico (funded by western humanities councils and the NEH) entitled, “Trails: Toward a New Western History.” The new western history developed alongside another movement in the historical profession: public history. This roundtable seeks to examine the influence of the new western history on the practice of public history, particularly as it is found in museums and historic sites.
