Public History at Arizona State University.
"My project has examined policies and practices related to heritage
management in the U.S. and New Zealand. I have been based at the Historical
Branch of the Department of Internal Affairs, and the Ministry for
Culture and Heritage. I worked with the Historic Places Trust, the
Department of Conservation and others who work in the heritage or
cultural resource management sector. I have made several major presentations
in New Zealand, including one at the inaugural Public History Conference
in Wellington. I expect to continue the study when I return to the
U.S., in order to carry the comparative focus back into areas of North
American practice.
The Axford Fellowship allows fellows to use their expertise from the
very first day they arrive. By placing us in the structures concerned
with the topics we study, we gain immediate access to every level
of government and expertise in New Zealand. In addition, my mentors
were particularly thoughtful about introducing me to people and to
situations that might not have seemed obvious in the beginning but
that proved exceedingly helpful to the study."

Extract from Chapter 1: Introduction
As the Ian Axford Fellow in Public Policy in 2000, I came to New Zealand
to examine the transfer of historic analysis and understanding from professional
historians writing in universities and public agencies to the public interpretation
of New Zealand's human heritage resources. In my original fellowship
application, written in March 1999, I proposed 'a comparative study
of heritage resource management in New Zealand and the United States'.
This report contains the findings for the New Zealand part of the comparative
study only. References to practice in the United States and in other countries
are, however, used to clarify and expand the discussion of New Zealand's
cultural and historic heritage management practices and policies.
