Program Introduction

Established in 2005, the Honours-Public History with an Internship concentration admits a small number of talented undergraduate students every year into a program focusing on the theory and practice of history in public settings. With particular strengths in oral history, museology, digital history, and visual media, the program has formed partnerships and planned internships with museums, historical associations, private consultants, media companies and other organizations both locally and in other parts of Canada and the world.
