Many thanks to Ron Grunwald and Deborah Wahl at the Duke Undergraduate Research Support Office for signing on as a co-sponsor of our event. Their contribution will be put toward material support of our undergraduate researchers during their archival work and project creation.
The Edge has officially pledged their space for our event! We are excited to have them as collaborators, and hope that undergraduates will be able to use the space’s fantastic technical capabilities to their max. More details soon to follow.
Many thanks to the Rubenstein Library, the Duke History Department, the Duke Libraries system, and Vice Provost for Interdisciplinary Studies Edward J. Balleisen for their support of our event! We have updated our Sponsors page to reflect their contributions. We are still in search of sponsors to ensure vibrant student participation, but we are well on our way to an excellent History Hackathon!
