In collaboration with the UMass Special Collections and University Archives and the UMass Center for Educational Software Development, public history students are currently designing a variety of secondary education teaching matierals focused on the Niagara Movement from the recently digitized W.E.B Du Bois collection. Upon completion, these materials will be available to the general public through a web site built with the Center for History and New Media's open source website generator OMEKA. For more information on DuBois and his legacy, see DuBois Central.

In parternship with the First Chuches of Northampton and UMass Public History Program alumna Kate Preissler, students are currently developing an audio tour of the historic First Churches Gothic cathedral in downtown Northampton. Home to American Baptist and United Church of Christ congreations, First Churches hopes the audio tour will document their recent restoration project as well as interpret the incredible history of the cathedral and its congregations. For more information about First Churches, see First Churches of Northampton.

In collaboration with the University of Massachusetts German and Scandinavian Studies program, public history students are creating an orignal exhibit chronicling the rise and fall of the Berlin Wall. Opening to the general public in November 2009, the exhibit will coincide with the German and Scandinavian Studies screening of a documentary entitled, "Leipzig in Autumn" which examines the demonstrations that led to the fall of the Wall. For more information about the project, see the German and Scandinavian Studies website.

In partnership with the Wisteriahurst Museum in Holyoke, Massachusetts, and the City Historian of Holyoke (UMass Public History Program alumna Kate Navara Thibodeau), public history students are currently interviewing volunteers and Western Massachusetts Master Gardeners who have worked on the Wisteriahurst garden restoration project for the past five years. Students will then create an exhibit plan to be installed by the museum staff in the spring of 2010.
