公众如何理解和使用过去？历史学家和历史学者在公众对过去的理解中应该扮演什么样的角色？作为历史学家，我们如何既履行对公众的责任，又仍然是历史和学术诚信的倡导者？我们如何做出我们有责任做出的艰难选择？本文认为，博物馆的历史学家必须是历史和参观者的代言人，弥合我们作为历史学家对过去的理解与公众之间的差距。
How does the public understand and use the past? What role should historians and historical scholarship play in the public9s understanding of the past? How do we as historians address our responsibilities to the public and still remain advocates for history and scholarly integrity? How do we make the difficult choices that are our responsibility to make? This essay argues that historians working in museums must be advocates for both history and our visitors, negotiating the gap between our understanding of the past as historians and the public9s.
