Prof. Duncan’s class visits the Schomburg Center

Students in Prof. Natanya Duncan’s HIST 392W colloquium, “Latinx History through Primary Sources,” recently paid a visit to the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture in Harlem. This was part of their coursework, which explores Latinx history from the 1500s to the present with special emphasis on learning about the fundamentals of archiving. Students will be creating final projects that engage with a variety of primary sources, such as the documents, material objects, sound and visual objects found at amazing NYC resources like the Schomburg.
