UC course turns students into digital archivists
October 11, 2024
Emma Hynes went through undergraduate school planning on becoming a professor. As far as Hynes was aware, that was one of the only jobs pursuable with a history degree.
While the prospect of teaching was interesting, it wasn’t until Hynes took Intro to Public History with Rebecca Wingo that different visions of future careers really began to blossom.
Over the course of the semester with Wingo, Hynes and other students participated in Public History in the Wild—a project that allows students to conduct hands-on archival work with historical sites they encounter in everyday life.
