48-623 Archives and the City

9 units, Carnegie Mellon University

This new class is designed for upper level Undergraduates and Master students who would like to delve deeper into the urban history of Pittsburgh and at the same time develop research skills that can be applied to other cities. In this small-group, hands-on elective seminar students engage with primary sources in the local archives, explore the urban environment with step-by-step guidance, gain insight from researchers with different disciplinary viewpoints and finally produce their own individual investigation as part of a collaborative class project.
