Explores the interpretation of servants and other hired household help in historic house museums, one of the most prevalent types of history museums in the country. This title presents examples of successful interpretation programs, including those that have made the kitchen and servants' quarters the most popular stops on the tour.

Trade Review

Voices from the Back Stairs will be a great benefit to curators and educators who work at historic sites. It not only provides the latest scholarship on domestic servants but many practical techniques for improving the interpretation of their work and lives.
