Program in Public History
Actions taken by the Senate Committee on Academic Planning
at its meeting of March 5, 1980, and by the Senate Committee on
Undergraduate Studies at its meeting of March 11, 1980, give rise
to the following motion:
MOTION
That Senate approve and recommend approval to the
Board of Governors, asset forth inS.80-33, the
proposed Certificate Program in Public History
including:

1) Program requirements
ii) New courses:

MIST 303-3 - Museums
Preservation
Methods and Uses
Method and Use
I
Although the program was approved, it was agreed that the paper
should be redrafted before submission to Senate in order to correct
some errors and to provide clarification. Several points were
addressed in the discussion. First, it was noted that the depart-
ment had gained some experience through an initial offering of the
proposed courses as special topics and through arranging for work
placements without requiring students to register for a practicum
course. Second, it was noted that work which a student takes for
a certificate may also be credited toward a degree. However, although
the program will appeal to some students who are majoring in History
and working toward a B.A., it will also be of interest to a good many
people employed in the community in positions for which the program
would have specific relevance. Third, the question was raised as to
why the program had not come forward in the format approved for
Co-operative Education. Departmental representatives explained that,
although a substantial number of job placements can be found, that
number is probably not sufficient to sustain the number of work
semesters required for a Co-operative Education program.

In response to a request from Dan Birch I have consulted with the
Department of History and Continuing Studies to make the appropriate
changes in the submission from the Department of History regarding
Public History. The department wishes the Public History information
to be inserted in the calendar entry for their honors, major, and
minor students, as options within their regular programs. I have
included a sample of the calendar entry. The Certificate Program
in Public History is a separate program and will be entered in the

Attached is the Public History Program approved by the History Department
at its meeting
of
January 17, 1980.
This program was approved following a one year trial during which each of
the three courses proposed was taught on an experimental, basis under special
topics numbers. These courses were taught in the evening by Terry Eastwood,
Archivist, Provincial Archives, B.C.; Martin Segger, Director/Curator,
Naitwood Art Museum, University of Victoria; and John Adams, Provincial
Museums Adviser. One seminar section of each course was open to enrollment
and the enrollments were 23, 17, and 16 students. The experiment showed that
students
wanted
instruction in this area and that professionally qualified
people could be found who- were
not
just interested, but enthusiastic about
taking part.
In connection with the effort to mount these courses, a summer internship
program was launched. As a consequence, over 20 students were placed for summer
employment with the Vancouver City Archives, the Centennial
Museum,
the S.F.U.
Archives, the Coquitlam Historical Society, the Royal Columbian Hospital
Archives, the Burnaby Art Gallery, Heritage Village, the Britannia Mining Museum,
the Provincial Museum Train, the Bach Choir Archives, the Steveston Historical
Society, the B.C. Sports Hall of Fame, the Provincial Museum, the Delta Museum,
and with individual-researchers.
This program was conceived and initiated by Professors D.L. Cole and
M. Feliman. After a one year trial the Department as a whole saw
it as
a highly
commendable undertaking - both academically viable and a real service to students
and
to
the community.

Language Other Than English
Most graduate schools require some proficiency in one or two languages other
than English. Those who contemplate graduate studies in history are advised to
include language courses other than English in their programs.
Public History
Courses in this group are designed for general interest and for pre-professional
training in the public sector of history - museums, archives, business, labour,
ethnic and administrative history work. They are available for majors, minors,
honors purposes. In addition to these courses, students who wish a Certificate in
Public History should participate in two internships in the Public History Program,
unless other approved options are followed, and meet other stated requirements.

ETHODS AND USE
•
??
The course will be
geared primarily for those students who have had
some prior experience with museums, either through work experience,
readings,
or visitations. The purpose of the course
will
be to introduce students to
the techniques needed to appreciate museums critically and to use them as aids
in their own research. The emphasis will thus be on
museolo
gy .
rather than
museoqraP!1. Nevertheless, the student will be exposed to some 'how to**
material • although it is understood that the student wishing to learn in detail
such things as how to catalogue museum artifacts, how to employ conservation
techniques, and so on, will gain these from further study (such as from
the seminar program ; offered by the Provincial
M useums Advisor, or the
training program offered each year by the B.C. Museums Association in
conjunction with its
Fall Conference), or from work experience.
The basis of the course will be the weekly seminar8, each consisting of
two one
hour and
twenty minute sessions punctuated by a break of approximately
twenty minutes. Guest lecturers will be present whenever available to give
greater detail of subject matter in certain key areas such as gallery design,
education,
conservation,
collections management and research, and to expose the
students to a. wide range of
museum
professionals .
There will be ongoing, as
well as a suggested weekly reading schedule.
There will be a final written examination combining both objective
and subjective questions. Besides that, during the term, each student will
be required to prepare a written paper reviewing a Lower Mainland history
gallery or exhibition, and the papers will be critically discussed by the
class.
On the reverse side is a tentative course outline.

Following the March 5th meeting of the Senate Committee on

Academic
Planning, at which approval-in-principle was given to the Certificate
Program in Public History, John Chase, in a memorandum to Michael
Fellman, indicated the Committee's suggestion that prior to
submission to Senate and UCBC the program proposal incorporate a

reviewed and approved by Doug Cole, has been prepared. If
satisfactory, perhaps the proposal could still be included on the

THE CERTIFICATE PROGRAM IN PUBLIC HISTORY
?
.
The proposed Certificate Program in Public History is an initiative
in community education in historical study as it is practiced in
non-academic settings--in museums, archives, government agencies,
cultural societies
,
, conservation authorities, businesses, families,
and other public and private institutions. The field is an
established one in which strong traditions in scholarly, professional,
applied, and avocational activities flourish. It is also one in
which new academic programs for professional public historians are
being developea and where employment opportunities look promising.
In this community, the Certificate Program is responding to
demonstrated interest in public history
instruction.
Three, courses
offered by the History Department in heritage
conservation,
archives
methods, and museums use, taught on an experimental basis as special
topics, enrolled 56 students last academic year.
A
summer internship
program organized in
connection
with the courses placed more than
20 students in 14 local institutions and with individual researchers.
Community-based professionals welcomed the program and participated
in it with enthusiasm.
As a course of study, the Certificate Program is directed toward
people working in a field who may not have a university degree or may
have one in another discipline; it offers them an opportunity not
currently available elsewhere for ordered and sequential study based
academically in the University's undergraduate courses in Canadian
and public history. The public history courses themselves are designed
to meet the requirements of general education and interest, as well as
to provide some pre-professional training.
Pedagogically, the program is interdisciplinary: it combines core
courses in history with optional ones in related disciplines, and it
recognizes the importance of applied skills by requiring appropriate
work experience, internship in the Public History Program, or

completion of a special project. It also offers opportunities for
students to participate in credit-free academic and professional
events. The Certificate Program does not duplicate the Masters
Degree Program in Archival History at the University of British
Columbia although its undergraduate courses prepare students for
advanced study. During the program planning process, consultations
were held with the Director of the School of Librarianship, the
University Archivist, and the History Department at the University
of British Columbia, and with the History Department at the
University of Victoria.
Credits earned in the Certificate Program may also be applied toward
a bachelor's degree.
Admission Requirements
Current University entrance requirements apply, as outlined in the
University Calendar.
Program Requirements
Twenty-four credit hours, and acceptable work experience(uua1iy' two
years or more) or an internship are required for completion of
the program. Credit course requirements fall into two groups:
1) core courses, and 2) optional courses. Four core courses and
four optional courses are required.
Students must take at least six of the eight courses required for
the Certificate in Public History at Simon Fraser University
(atciadlours)
Credit for a maximum of two courses of comparable content and level
may be transferred from previous university/college study towards
