Book excerpt: Excerpt from Resources for Interpreters: Bibliographies for Historical Interpretation The following fourteen bibliographies, with their variety of topics, are designed as basic references for park interpreters. Compiled through the efforts of many people, each bibliographies' references were chosen because they are readable, well grounded in current scholarship and available. Ponderous writing, inaccurate or dated material, or hopelessly obscure sources have we hope been omitted unless they are unique or truly classic. Each bibliography has two parts a key list of ten annotated references followed by other less significant, but still important works. Topics were chosen as those most useful to park interpreters; topics not included here may be subjects of future bibliographies. Each author(s) with expertise in that subject sent a bibliography. These were edited in waso, Division of Interpretation, with some additional works added. Mary Maruca of the Division of Cultural Resources helped greatly in editing and publishing these bibliographies. Intern Nanette James also assisted. Most of all, the authors who exercised both good judgement and great restraint in selecting their references made this publication possible. They have our thanks. These bibliographies are places to begin. Use them as background in formation, to put our specific sites in their larger historical context. References unique to particular parks have generally been omitted, as these parks generally have such resources. Historical interpretation in the Service must balance between being site - specific, and in historical context. These bibliographies are designed to help that balance. May they serve you well.
