Historic Contexts: What are they?
Historical context is the political, social, cultural, and economic setting for a particular idea or event. In order to better understand something in history, we must look at its context--those things which surround it in time and place and which give it its meaning. In this way, we can gain, among other things, a sense of how unique or ordinary an event or idea seems to be in comparison to other events and ideas.
Historic Contexts: What are they?
More specifically for our purposes, the National Register of Historic Places defines a historic context as:
" An organizing structure for interpreting history that groups information about historic properties which share a common theme, common geographical location, and common time period. The development of historic contexts is a foundation for decisions about planning, identification, evaluation, registration, and treatment of historic properties, based on comparative significance."
National Register Bulletin 15A
Historic Contexts: What are they?
"Patterns or trends in history by which a specific occurrence, property or site is understood and its meaning within history or prehistory is made clear."
National Register Bulletin 15
