About the Sesquicentennial Scholars project
In 2018, the Center for Textual Studies and Digital Humanities, Public History Program, and the
University Libraries collaborated on a proposal to commemorate Loyola’s 150th anniversary. In order to accomplish this goal, the grant was used to hire graduate students in Digital Humanities and Public History to design, create, and implement projects for the anniversary celebration. Funded by the President’s Office, these students, called the Sesquicentennial Scholars, researched Loyola’s history, tested and selected software platforms, and created digital projects using archival materials to demonstrate Loyola’s evolution from 1870 to 2020.
