UC
History Major Molly Gullett recently completed work on the
Southwest
Ohio Folklore Project, an important archival collection housed in the
Archives and Rare Books Library at UC. The Folklore Collection is now available
as a research tool and includes an online finding aid and web exhibit.
Molly
did
this
work as part of an internship with the Archives and Rare Books Library. The
project also earned her a credit toward her BA in History. Her work demonstrates
the
exciting internship opportunities available
to undergraduates at UC. History majors and minors interested in internships
for this summer or next fall can contact Professor Charles F. Casey-Leininger at
caseylcf@ucmail.uc.edu.
UC
History graduate student, Rachel Powell, is employed at the
Woman’s
City Club in Cincinnati
this semester after the club received a $10,000 grant from the Wilder
Foundation for Rachel’s work on the club’s history. Rachel began work on the
project this semester, which merges with her research on the WCC in Professor
Sigrun Haude’s research seminar. This summer she will begin working full time
on the project.
The award of this grant reflects the high quality of
Rachel’s work last semester in the Public History Practicum offered by Professor
Charles F. Casey-Leininger. The WCC is expected to raise additional funds for
Rachel’s work during 2014 with the goal of having a book published in time for
the club’s centennial celebration in 2015.
For more on Rachel’s project, please see the article
in the History Department’s February issue of the The
Primary Source.
