Public History Summer Academy 

The Historical Society of Pennsylvania invites undergraduate students to participate in a paid, week-long Public History Summer Academy (PHiSA). This PHiSA will provide an introduction to archives-based public history practice, with a focus on histories of underrepresented communities. Participants will gain research skills, examine and interpret primary documents, and will learn from experienced public history practitioners. Through the PHiSA, students will enhance their communication skills and their ability to identify necessary and relevant information , which will serve a variety of majors and career paths, including Communications, Education, Business, Performing and Visual Arts, as well as those interested in History, African American Studies, Gender and Sexuality Studies, Political Science, and Economics. Non-history majors are encouraged to apply!
