Duke’s History BS fuses archival research, oral-history methodology, and computational analysis to illuminate the forces that shape societies. Students digitize parchment charters with multispectral imaging, scrape newspaper corpora for sentiment trends, and curate VR exhibits that place visitors on pivotal protest lines. A digital-history lab pairs majors with community partners to co-produce open resources that speak to contemporary debates on democracy, technology, and social justice.
