Kelley Scholars are chosen from among juniors who apply each spring to the Department of History for admission into the program for their senior year. Once accepted, they participate in a year-long research and writing seminar which includes weekly group meetings, individual tutorials, readings in historiography, discussions of current research in the field, and lectures by department members and visiting historians.

Adapted from http://www2.truman.edu/~marc/resources/guide.html The Writing of a Historical Essay or Research Paper Whether you are writing an in-class essay exam or a 20-page research paper, there are some basic guidelines which you should keep in mind. The first part of this handout gives general information which is relevant to the writing of any historical essay. The second part gives tips which you should utilize in writing take-home essays, exams, and research papers. Writing an Essay An essay is not simply a list of facts. You must organize the facts into themes which support a central argument or thesis. This thesis should be introduced in the beginning of the paper and developed throughout the paper one step at a time. The stronger your thesis, the easier it will be for you to develop a strong argument. Use an outline to organize your thoughts in a clear, coherent and logical manner and to guide you in writing the essay. Organizationally, the essay has three main parts: Introduction . Use the introduction to state your thesis, outline the main points you will make in the essay, and describe the conclusions which you will draw in the essay. History essays are not mystery papers; the reader should know from the beginning what your conclusions are. Use the introduction to draw the reader into the essay. Often it is easier to write your introduction

How to discover connections between the literary work and historical time period. Two standard sources for key facts about the time period. ... Quiz One of the fascinating areas of research is the historical period surrounding any literary work. Often, the events in any particular era profoundly influence the writing of an author. Just as the American Civil War certainly influenced the poetry of Walt Whitman, the Romantic period (1798-1832) and the era of the French Revolution (1789) influenced Mary Shelley. Sometimes an author will write about the past, as well, as when Nathaniel Hawthorne in the middle of the nineteenth century wrote The Scarlet Letter , set some two hundred years earlier in the American colonial period. Historical research seeks to discover the connections between the literary work and the historical time period in which or about which it is written.

Researching and Writing the Historical Overview Student Multigenre Web Projects: Exploring Local History Researching the Historical Overview Using the P.A.S.T.E. system The P.A.S.T.E. system will help you connect your research topic to five key historical and social markers: politics, arts/entertainment, society, technology, and the economy. Using it as a research tool will help you do a complete search for information by finding three connecting points for each of the five P.A.S.T.E. points. You can also use P.A.S.T.E. as an organizational tool; begin your historical overview with a general introduction to your subject and then develop the ideas that follow according to P.A.S.T.E. Please see the link below for getting your P.A.S.T.E. organizer or get it from your teacher. Sources In addition to your personal interview, three other sources of information are required. You may not cite your history textbook or an encyclopedia even though you may start there for general background knowledge. Of the three sources, only one may be a web page. Other appropriate print sources are books, journals (web journals are also fine), historical society documents, or other similar scholarly resources. Ask your teacher if you are in doubt about the credibility of a source. Popular magazines are generally not good resources.

Evidence: Opinions and Facts E. Format for Notes and Bibliography F. Cautionary Notes about language G. Writing: The Research Paper H. Resources on the Internet A. INTRODUCTION A. The Project When you research and write a historical paper keep in mind two separate tasks to address: Describe the historical event by means of a narrative. Write a story that takes into consideration the chronology of events, facts, and issues which occurred prior, during, and after the specific event selected. Answer the question 'what happened?' Simultaneously, as you write the paper, you will want to question the meaning of what happened. Analyze the events and determine its possible significance for individuals, nations, or people. What is the underlying structure? As you write the narrative, add your reflections, opinions, and interpretations of what and why these events are significant. This second aspect will involve coming up with a thesis. Finding a " thesis " assumes that one is employing the " scientific method " to a study of history. "Scientific" means that you have arrived at an opinion about historical phenomena based on certain evidence which is open to scrutiny by otherssimilar to scientific investigation in the natural sciences. That is to say, anyone who wishes to arrive at an understanding of the past, or text about the past, can repeat the same stepsbecause of your referencesthat you first discovered, and understand how you arrived at your opinion.

Publications Principles and Standards for Federal Historical Programs This statement, drafted by a subcommittee of the Federal Historical Programs Committee, has been unanimously adopted by the Executive Council of the Society for History in the Federal Government. The Society urges all persons serving as historians in the federal government and all government officials administering historical programs to use this statement as a guide in their historical activities. General Principles Federal historians with professional training and experience have a right to expect that they will be treated as professionals in their work. Federal historians have a responsibility to serve their scholarly profession and the public as well as the federal agencies for which they work. They should not be expected to bias their historical interpretations to accommodate current policy considerations. Historians also have a responsibility as federal employees to accept limitations on their right to publish material or to make public statements when such information has not been reviewed for classified content or for data exempt from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act. These principles have specific application as follows: A. In Collecting Historical Records

It is not the intent of this course to draw easy parallels between the Vietnam War and the current war on terrorism. However, the former can provide a useful framework for understanding what is at stake and for whom. Further, the skills we gain in this investigation will provide you with the means to carry on your own investigations into the costs and benefits of current policies and practices of the government and the media in relation to the war on terrorism. The course will begin with several weeks of reading on the Vietnam War, covering all of the major topics we will be pursuing during the research phase of the course. The class will then break into groups in order to explore the way the U.S. media reported the Vietnam War between 1954 and 1968. This time period corresponds to the years covered by the the collection of government documents now known as "The Pentagon Papers,," which were generated when Secretary of War Robert McNamera ordered the Pentagon to reassess the United States's role in Vietnam. The Pentagon Papers offers historians a valuable perspective because it consists of documents by government officials that were never meant to be made public. We will be comparing the government's internal version of the war to that disseminated by various media sources, and assessing both against the findings of scholars.
