The Elisabeth Remak-Honnef Center for Archival Research and Training (CART) integrates primary source materials more fully into the teaching and research mission of the university by providing hands-on experience for graduate students, while enhancing access to archival collections for all. Working as a CART fellow allows students to gain experience with primary sources and receive compensation at a rate competitive with similar on-campus employment options.
Students in the CART fellowship:
- gain practical, paid work experience in a library and archives setting
- help make archival collections available to researchers
- enhance their own skills in conducting primary source research
- work with other graduate students from different disciplines and interests
- collaboratively curate an exhibit showcasing archival materials
- learn about digital humanities tools in the Digital Scholarship Commons
- present their work at the annual Graduate Research Symposium during Spring quarter
The CART Commons program:
- provides an informal setting to discuss issues related to archival research
- hosts hands-on sessions with archival collections
