"Keith Petersen"s Historical Celebrations is a handbook for organizers of Diamond Jubilees, Centennials, and other community anniversaries. Historical Celebrations is divided into six sections: Project Organization; Fundraising; Sample Project Activities; Publicity; Documenting the Celebration, Concluding the Celebration, and Building on What You Have Begun; Some Sample Celebrations (Rexburg, Wallace, Jerome). Historical Celebrations is further enhanced by an informative foreword by J. Sanford Rikoon, a preface, two appendices (Sources Of Technical Assistance and Publicity Materials), and an extensive bibliography. Historical Celebrations should be in every community library collection and thereby available to every civic, social, and governmental organization that would be expected to share in the development, management, and operations of a community celebration, large or small, annual or special." - Midwest Book Review
