annieca Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 I'm writing this *loverly* SOP and I'm hitting a block. I'm applying for both Public History and MLIS degrees. I'm trying to find a nice balance between library-y things, museum-y things and History scholarship. Anyone have any suggestions on how to balance this? I'm willing to message people my SOP if they want to take a look. I'm doing a basic one and then I'll add the "fit" portion once I get this down. Thanks ahead of time! I'm willing to look at other history ones as a tit-for-tat as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lola Wants Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 (edited) I'm currently in a MLIS/History program. Although, I didn't write about museums in my SOP I did create a relationship between archives, libraries and the study of history. I think you could definitely write about them as repositories that serves the public's needs, which includes researchers and non-researchers, as primary instiutions for the dissemination of information and histories. The more important question is which program (or career) would you much rather prefer, the MLIS program or the Public History program?

annieca Posted April 4, 2012 Author Share Posted April 4, 2012 Thanks both of you - definitely prefer the Public History program over the MLIS program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
