Haverford College History Department Junior Seminar Papers and Other Course Papers Based on Haverford Collections, 1969-2012 (inclusive)

Extent:: 7.75 linear ft. (31 boxes)

Papers resulting from other coursework within the history department which faculty also deemed worthy for research purposes are also here, but housed separately from the 361 papers. Thus, here are papers from History 240, History of Quakerism (1991, 1999); papers from History 347a, Quakers in Asia (1989); and one paper from History 347b (1989). (Note: There is also 1 paper from 340a, spring 1990, filed in Box 1989-1). In 2012, papers from Independent College Program, Picturing War: Goya to Abu Ghraib were added to this collection.
