13 <br /> Page 2 of 2 Robert Ireland <br /> Education: I received my master's degree at the University of Wyoming as a William <br /> Robertson Coe Fellow in American Studies, and my doctorate in 1972 from the <br /> University of Maine. I have attended numerous conferences and presentations regarding <br /> local, state and national historic topics. I have also had extensive experience in <br /> researching local history and genealogy. (I am a member of Durham-Orange Genealogy <br /> 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.
