We were happy to discover the two articles “Retro Miami: The History of UM” and “Bridging The Gap: Colored Students Were Not Allowed at the University of Miami Until 1961” in the February 2016 issue of Distraction Magazine, as we provided research assistance for their student journalists who wrote the stories.
The University Archives have been working closely with student journalists of The Miami Hurricane and IBIS by providing research assistance on UM history, archiving their publications from the first issue in 1927 to present, and making them accessible online for the UM community to research news and events as well as understand students and campus life from the past.
