Handouts for Graduate Study

Welcome to Handouts for Graduate Study, a bank of helpful documents for researching, writing, and teaching history. Feel free to download anything you find useful. The HGA created this resource to be a central place for all those grant applications, writing worksheets, teaching tips, and other documents graduate students are always sharing with each other. It began with a good number and we hope it grows in the future. Ask current HGA officers how to add to this great resource and, in the meantime, enjoy Handouts for Graduate Study.
