Davidson History Journal
In 2017, several Davidson students founded Davidson History Journal, an online publication sponsored by Davidson’s History Department, and written, edited, and published by Davidson students. The journal seeks to provide an outlet for history-related content created by Davidson students and to share these accomplishments with a wider audience. Here, students are able to publish research projects developed in their courses. One special issue of the DHJ offered a multimedia focus on historical memory, including student work on memory from various academic disciplines and featuring work from the course HIS 301: Making History which involved a study trip to London.
