We're always glad for you to stop by our offices or <a class="" href="http://history.hanover.edu/faculty.php" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">email</a> us. We also share news from the department and interesting historical finds through <a title="History at Hanover College" href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/649553985151651/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Facebook</a> and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/hanoverhistorydept/?hl=en">Instagram</a>.</p> <hr> <h3>Ongoing Projects</h3> <p>Founded in 1992, the <a href="hhrintro.php">Hanover Historical Review</a> is a student-edited journal of student scholarship. The <em>HHR</em> Editorial Board welcomes submissions of essays, document transcriptions, and book reviews of a historical nature from any discipline.</p> <p>A student-faculty-staff team is telling the stories of the first African-American graduates from Hanover College through <a title="Learning in Black and White: Race Relations at Hanover College, 1832-1980" href="https://history.hanover.edu/texts/bnw/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Learning in Black and White</a>. We'd love for you to join us -- with research assistance or memories or documents. Please contact <a href="mailto:historians@hanover.edu" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> historians@hanover.edu</a> if you can help.</p> <p>The <a class="" href="https://history.hanover.edu/project.php" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Hanover Historical Texts Collection</a> is the history department's pioneering project to put primary source documents online. In 1995, we were among the first to digitize historical documents for use in classrooms around the world. We continue to add to the collection, and we are delighted that researchers, students, and other interested readers use it every day.</p></div> </div> </section> </main> <footer class="template"> <div class="footer"> <div id="site_info"><a href="/" title="History Department" class="site_name">© 2025 History Department</a><a href="tel:(812) 866-7000" class="site_phone" title="Contact Phone Number" aria-label="Contact Phone Number">(812) 866-7000</a><a href="mailto:historians@hanover.edu" class="site_email" title="Contact Email Address" aria-label="Contact Email Address">historians@hanover.edu</a></div> <div id="site_social"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/649553985151651/" class="facebook icon_facebook" target="_blank" title="Facebook"></a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/hanoverhistorydept/?hl=en" class="instagram icon_instagram" target="_blank" title="Instagram"></a></div> </div> </footer> </body> </html>
