HIST 348B Researching Media History: Discovering Cultural History at the Library of Congress

Students focus on learning historical research methods, utilizing primary documents, sound materials, and digital humanities tools at the Library of Congress, toward the development of an original publication-length paper on broadcasting, film, or communications policy history. With the aid of the instructor and designated archival staff members, students craft proposals and writing samples useful for applications to film and media, communications, or cultural history graduate programs, as well as think tanks, research agencies, and content development fields.
