JRH

Greetings. I'm finalizing my list at the moment and was wondering if you had some recommendations. I have a BA in history from a small liberal arts school and a Masters in Library and Information Science (focused in Archival Studies) from UCLA. My interests are (broadly) the adaptation of racism in the United States since the Civil War and (narrowly) student protest methodology in the mid-20th century. To be honest, I'm a little nervous about applying to PhD programs without the History MA. My grades and scores have always been above average, but nothing particularly great enough to write home about. Within LIS, I have a few small publications under my belt. I'm presently employed as a faculty member/ reference librarian at a university where I am the history department liaison. The end goal is to become a university archivist, so I am open to MA programs. I'm just not particularly thrilled at the prospect of additional loans after UCLA.
