IHP Updates

Through an Inclusive History Project grant, the Mardigian Library is digitizing more than 1,000 student newspapers for a publicly available and searchable virtual database. The project will be complete by December.

The IHP is now accepting applications for its 2025-26 Student Advisory Committee, which engages students interested in the IHP’s wide-ranging efforts to study and document a comprehensive history of the University of Michigan. Applications are due April 7.
