While not a great resource it does match with how public historians are supposed to write. Public history covers statues, monuments, museums and other things. The labels for all of these should he written as if the reader only has a 5th-6th grade reading level and we only expect half of the label to be read. Would not surprise me if it is ever worse than that though.
