During the 1920s historic sites such as Monticello and Colonial Williamsburg made national and world news as they set new standards for preservation work. These institutions established a different kind of authority for the research departments and specialists who professionalized their fields. This project looks at the ways the public became aware of their work—even people who never visited these places—and participated in national conversations about restoration during the 1930s, and later, about the history of slavery.
