Welcome
The Cornell Public History Initiative works to stimulate and deepen dialogue among students, faculty, staff, and their wider communities about the sedimented histories that shape our contemporary world.
Launched in 2019, the PHI supports courses on museums, monuments, archives, and memory; organizes an ongoing speaker series; and coordinates fellowships for undergraduates in partnership with local community organizations.
Upcoming Events
Undergraduate Minor
The undergraduate minor in public history enables students to think about the stakes of historical knowledge, explore Cornell's archives, and take part in the creation of digital exhibitions and other community-facing projects.
