For forty years, NYU has equipped students for thriving careers as archivists, museum curators, documentary editors, cultural resource managers, historical interpreters, and media specialists. Led by Program Director Professor Ellen Noonan, who brings nearly two decades of public history expertise, the curriculum adapts to the changing demands of archives and public history fields. Our program combines rigorous historical scholarship, hands-on digital technology training, and project-focused education. New York City offers an unparalleled setting for studying archives and public history, with courses taught by active professionals and internship opportunities across the city's diverse historical institutions.
Students may earn an MA or, for those with existing humanities MAs, an Advanced Certificate, specializing in either Archives or Public History. We also provide a joint Library Science degree program in partnership with Long Island University.
Through core courses, students conduct original research (capstone projects) utilizing New York City's distinctive resources as their public history and archives workshop. Internships complement academic work, fostering a professional and productive educational experience.
