The DC History Center’s University Advisory Group is composed of academic historians who teach DC history locally and nationwide. The group facilitates information-sharing not only about the most recent and compelling research in the field, but also about DC History Center resources such as its collections, publications, and opportunities for students. This exchange creates exciting pathways for translating academic scholarship to a broad community audience, as well as encourage emerging scholars of DC history. The University Advisory Group reviews submissions for the Totman Fellowship.
