Historical scholarship also takes other forms.
Students and faculty develop digital history projects, exhibits, preservation projects, government reports, community initiatives, and more. UMass history faculty are public intellectuals who regularly weigh in on current issues in popular formats, such as newspapers and documentaries.

Faculty and students collaborate with numerous interdisciplinary research centers and initiatives and present their scholarship at venues across our region and the world. Faculty and students workshop works-in-progress at our Five College Faculty Seminar in History and the student-run UMass History Journal publishes original scholarship by undergraduate students.

With support from the Office of Research Engagement, members of the faculty have held fellowships from the National Endowment for the Humanities, the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation, the American Council of Learned Societies, the American Antiquarian Society, the American Philosophical Society, the Fulbright Commission, and the National Science Foundation. Two members of the faculty have been finalists for the Pulitzer Prize.
