“…Public archaeology attempts to incorporate different races or different social groups into archaeological activities, allowing them to discover and explain their own history. This practice of "community archaeology" has achieved good results in both the United States and Europe, especially in the cooperation between American archaeology and Indian tribes [15].…”

The essay explores how to use the New Museology theory to eliminate the dominant position of Eurocentric historical view in the third world and how to use eco-museum and community museum to build the national identity and local identity of the local people. With the rise of the New Museology Movement and the Cultural Heritage Protection Movement, the community museums and eco-museums established can reflect the current social evolution, and at the same time, can increase the recognition of people of different races to the cultures of different races. This phenomenon has been observed in the 21st century, and there are not many scholars studying it. The essay will reveal that the New Museology theory can deconstruct the existence of Eurocentrism by establishing community museums to a certain extent. The essay uses the case study method and interview method. By studying the present situation of museums in some third world, this article hopes to have a wider reference significance for reshaping people's historical view in postcolonial areas. In conclusion, the essay deepens our understanding of New Museology, Community Museum, Ecomuseum, and the Third World. Admittedly, the essay is limited because the number of cases is small, which makes it impossible to make a more comprehensive analysis of this phenomenon. In addition, due to the differences of countries, there may still be many problems in our analysis methods. Further studies can look into the development of public archaeology and construct a more systematic New Museology theory.

In recent years, UK Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) and funding bodies have been increasingly championing the merits of co-production between academic researchers and non-HEIs, including community groups. However, these undertakings are often more complex than we are led to believe and the issues encountered are frequently downplayed in published outputs. In this article we review a selection of recent projects in which digital technologies have been used in heritage-led public engagement, including two of our own related projects at Park Hill flats in Sheffield. Digital technologies are the latest means by which HEIs are seeking to engage with the public, but it is becoming clear that there are significant impediments to undertaking this successfully. These include the short-term nature of the funding, the difficulties of maintaining digital outputs over time, and managing community expectation of what can be achieved in the time, and with the funding, available, alongside variable levels of familiarity with, and interest in, digital platforms by the public. Funding schemes often prioritise new consultation activities, and co-production with communities, over making use of archival community engagement materials. We suggest that academic engagement with the public needs to be sensitive to these issues, and to recognise that valuable digital heritage projects can emerge from diverse approaches to co-production.
