One of the primary missions of the Luxembourg Centre for Contemporary and Digital History (C²DH) is to be a key player in public history. With the launch of its new book series, Public History in European Perspectives, the C²DH wants to serve as a platform for public history, exploring its potential as an interdisciplinary field and a means of fostering and reflecting upon public engagement, dissemination and participatory practices in areas such as heritage-making, modes of display, and historical storytelling.

(Public) historians, scholars in material culture studies, communication studies and museum studies, curators and archivists are invited to submit proposals on the methodological foundations of disseminating historical knowledge in the broadest sense, on interactions with public audiences, and on the epistemological consequences of mediation, remediation, and intermediation. It is critical to encourage work on ethical issues in the field of public history, on the cultural but also political, social and economic consequences of public history projects, on working with minority groups and establishing more inclusive agendas for community engagement.

The editorial board members for the book series are renowned experts in the field and ensure outstanding quality by acting as peer reviewers and advisors to the series editor. The book series is trilingual (English, French and German) and offers options for open access.

Gradually the historians of education have broken out of the traditional school museums — which are no longer the sole places to communicate research findings with the wider public — and gone beyond the traditional publication formats. Indeed, they started exploring how to work with the [educational] past in the present, experimenting with presenting the educational past in new ways, and reflecting on how these new forms of mediation and musealisation of sources impacts the research and the (hi)stories told. By zooming in on three themes, musealisation, new ways of exhibiting, and historical storytelling —, this edited volume illustrates the vitality of the history of education, as field of study, and demonstrates its adaptability to the “changing contexts” of its public function. So, rather than being an “endangered species”, the historians of education seem to get fit for the future by showing traditional craftsmanship as well as “engagement with” and “appropriation of” (interdisciplinary) approaches of thinking with the past in the present for wider audiences — stances which are richly illustrated in the various contributions.
