I thought rather than tell you the assortment of things we do in the US Marine Corps Historical Company (USMCHC), I’d take this opportunity to show you through these photographs, which basically speak for themselves:
USMCHC Marines presenting the history of the Corps
History of the Marine Corps - Commandant, Marine Corps, in center

Normal dress for USMCHC interpreters when presenting educational programs not requiring period uniforms, which is more the norm today. We gear our method of interpretation to the audience and often find not being in period uniform a benefit.
Our active duty Marines often interpret to the public in their own modern uniforms. This is a WWII display at Solomons, MD
1814 USMCHC Marines on firing line at Ft McHenry in full dress.
USMCHC Marines portraying Spanish American War Marines to duplicate a famous photograph of the period
