Historically Inclined

@historytotheppl I find this site helpful as a jumping off point if you're just starting to look: http://ncph.org/program-guide/ It'll allow you to narrow by program type, degree, location, etc. Best of luck!

Hi everyone! I'm new to the site, but thrilled to find such a great community. I got my B.A. in the Spring of '16, and after working at a living history site for about a year I am now tossing around the idea of a Masters. However, I didn't do a fantastic job of staying in touch with my professors from undergrad. Based on what I've read, most programs for history, public history, etc. expect letters of recommendation from professors, specifically history professors. And there lies my second issue, my minor was in history in undergrad not my major. So I didn't have a history advisor nor did I get particularly close with my history professors. Any advice on reconnecting with old professors for letters of recommendation without looking like a leach? What about getting around my lack of good history professor contacts? Thanks!!
