The selected OAH consultant historians will review the recommendations of the Historians Meeting (per Article II, B. 1) and any public comments on the recommendations on the priority areas to be covered by the theme study. 3. Each consultant historian will be asked to prepare a concise history of the prioritized areas of the underrepresented history and provide a list of sites that represent this history. The history must be helpful in the evaluation of the sites on the list or sites that may arise in the future for their significance at the national, state, or local level. 4.
