6 <br />Page 2 of 2 <br />Robert Ireland <br />I received my master's degree at the University of Wyoming as a William Robertson Coe <br />Fellow in American Studies, and my doctorate in 1972 from the University of Maine. I <br />have attended numerous conferences and presentations regarding local, state and <br />national historic topics. I have also had extensive experience in researching local history <br />and genealogy. (I am a member of Durham-Orange Genealogy Society). <br />Other Comments: <br />A few years ago, I also volunteered to help with a National Study of Orange County as <br />part of an examination of the Backcountry in the Revolution. During this activity, I had an <br />opportunity to work with a number of experts on all aspects of life in the late 18th century <br />in Orange County. In addition, as President of the Historical Society, I oversaw the <br />purchase and proper instalation of a suitably old English bell in the old County <br />Courthouse. Both of these experiences helped me to appreciate the purpose and <br />practice of public history.
