| Abstrakt: | A new group of urban field guides highlight novel strategies for interpreting cities with multiple scales of time. While these new city guides—printed and digital—reveal the range of options for understanding an urban space, they also let public historians reflect on the larger intellectual problem of selecting a historic context for a place. A single historical timeframe remains a simple and accessible way to connect places to history, but the new city guides demonstrate the complexities and opportunities of representing chronology.
