The Archives’ Student Historian Program provides undergraduate students at the UW-Madison the opportunity to conduct independent research with support from Archives staff. Working closely with a staff member, the Student Historian chooses a research topic that centers on a historically underrepresented campus community. The goal of the program is to empower students holding marginalized identities to document their own communities’ experience on campus. The program offers a paid position and Student Historians are tasked with two things:

1. Research a topic related to a marginalized community on campus, and
2. Share out their experiences and research findings in one or more ways.
