Eager to get published, but want to start small? This is your chance: the UGH Journal is excited to launch our latest opportunity for undergraduate students to showcase their historical skills: micro historia.
These microhistories, inspired by other scholarly journals and public history blogs, showcase in less than 1,500 words a historical interpretation of a single primary source — a document, object, or collection — to demonstrate how historical research deepens our understanding of the past and present. Think of these as historical writing in action.

Summary of the post that is catchy and speaks to its significance. Should identify the main source and interpretation.
