Research Projects


The Shifting Borders of Race and Identity
The Hall Center, in partnership with Haskell Indian Nations University, conducted “The Shifting Borders of Race and Identity: A Research and Teaching Project on the Native American and African American Experience,” a two-year project supported by the Ford Foundation.







Kansas History Online
Kansas History Online is a project of the Hall Center in collaboration with the Kansas State Historical Society.  The goal is to create an accessible and comprehensive e-history of Kansas, an encyclopedic array of articles touching on every key aspect of state history.  This project was made possible in part by a Challenge Grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities.
