Program Introduction

The M.A. program in Historical Resources Management was established in 2007 as the country's only GIS ‐ based graduate program in history. The program now admits at least 6 students each year. Beginning in 2010, a new digital media track was created to complement the existing GIS track. The program is run in collaboration with the GIS Training and Research Center and the James E.
