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
• is open to all graduate students
