Dear Williams-
While not exactly what you requested, I suggest you look at "The
Presence of the Past: Popular Uses of History in American Life" by
Roy Rosenzweig and David Thelen (1997 or 1998?) It explores the
public's perception of the value of history--a good subject for all of
us working in the public history sector.
I also would like a summary of the other references you have received.
