When selecting a topic for historical research it is important to consider what has been previously studied by other historians AND what primary sources will be available. You cannot write a historical research paper without analyzing primary sources.

Assignment Instructions from Dr. Ulrich:

Students will, based on original research in primary sources, produce both a publication-quality research paper of at least ten (full) pages and give a presentation to the class of a length to be determined based on de facto class size late in the semester.  Students may select their own topics subject to the approval of the professor.  Finding appropriate primary sources will be the most important limiting factor in topic choices. Any student who fails to complete this project will automatically fail the course.
