Closeted Historians is a project that aims to find the passion about history in every person. Everyone has a universal aspiration to leave a memory and a legacy. Everyone loves connecting to the past someway, so our aspiration is making historical knowledge available, and first and foremost enjoyable, to any public. The ideal audience for public history is, literally, everyone. We all have heard the same about the value of learning history: Knowing about the past to avoid repeating mistakes; if you don’t know, where did you come from, you will not know where to go, and so many other common places. However, beyond those values, we all share a sort of fascination and even fetishism about the past, that gives us meaning in our present, and so connects our emotions and senses to the past. Smelling that old perfume, listening to that tune from the 1970s, touching that collectible we never got in our childhood, all these everyday life experiences make sense of our nostalgia in our present daily life. Public history is the awareness that we all live within history and no matter if you are a medical doctor, an engineer, or an space scientist, we all have a closeted historian inside.
