Athens, GA — It’s easy to feel far removed from the Civil War era, but for students in the University of Georgia’s HIST 4760/6760 Hands-on Public History course that isn’t the case. Students in this class work with community partners to develop public history projects based on primary and secondary sources. This spring semester, the class partnered with the Georgia Museum of Art to curate “Seeing the News in Harper’s Weekly, 1860 – 80,” an exhibition featuring illustrations from Harper’s Weekly that focus on the Civil War and its aftermath. The exhibition will be on view in the museum’s Study Gallery May 23 – July 12. Read the full article on this link to the Georgia Museum of Art website.
