History is the interpretation of the past through the questions of the present. Historians are like detectives; they examine how individuals, groups and human systems shaped past events and ideas, and they draw on a wide range of sources in their investigations. In undergraduate and graduate history courses at UM, students work with faculty members whose expertise is internationally recognized.

Congratulations to Gifty Asamoah, a student in the Joint Masters' program (archival studies stream) for winning the 2024 Association of Canadian Archivists' Ancestry Continuing Education Award.
"While the importance of community archives for cultural preservation is recognized, there remains a lack of understanding regarding how individual migrant perceptions influence data collection and archival practices. My project seeks to adopt a case study approach to explore migrant perceptions on how archives and record-keeping can contribute to preserving culture and maintaining identity, particularly among Ghanaian immigrants in Manitoba."
