The Center for Archives and Digital History provides students the opportunity to work directly with original archival material and to negotiate new digital spaces of creativity and research. At the center, undergraduates are introduced to skills that will prepare them to research, discover, preserve, and present history through digital and news media. This work also helps to prepare students for a growing number of careers in industry, nonprofit, and educational sectors that welcome digital skills alongside the communication and critical thinking abilities that have long been valued in humanities students. Some go on to pursue graduate school in the humanities or in library and informational science, among other disciplines.
