- W2045604894 abstract "CAN ONE PROMOTE the professionalization of a field while preserving respect for its amateurs? In history, unlike medicine or the law, I think it may be not only possible but necessary. The care and use of historic resources in many communities will be dependent on volunteer enthusiasm for a long time to come, even when professionally guided. Certainly the much-needed development of truly effective formal training programs for work in history beyond the campus and the classroom need not engender contempt for those people who already are succeeding out there. Indeed, as part of their training, future history professionals need to know about working with volunteer historical groups. They need to know, I'd like to suggest in this (I hope not too fancifiul) essay, about the likes of Lester. I first met Lester a couple of years ago when I got an invitation from the Old Hickory Historical Society down in Hickory County, Tennessee. They asked me to come give a speech on the subject: Hard Times for History: Is There Hope? The day before the invitation, the blasting and bulldozing had started for a new leg of the Interstate through Nashville, where the American Association for State and Local History (AASLH, which I direct) is headquartered. It was near enough our offices for the field mice to seek refuge with us. It infuriated me anyway because of the old neighborhoods it was displacing. And also the noise made it hard for the staff to work. I accepted the invitation from Hickory County and slipped out of town. I drove down toward Chattanooga on a stretch of completed Interstate. I took a left on a gravel county road as I had been instructed. I found the place where the gravel road forks off to become the main street of the seat of Hickory County. And there I located the fire hall where the meeting was to be held." @default.
