Title
HIST715: Local History Research Methods, Spring 2020
Description
Items in this collection were acquired by students in HIST715 "Local History Research Methods," which was taught in Spring 2020 at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM). The class is a required one for students in UWM's Public History Program. But it also included a number of graduate students from across UWM's campus. After the pandemic disrupted the project students in the class traditionally work on, the class pivoted to documenting Milwaukee's local history as it unfolded amidst a global health crisis.
