Ann Lisa Ferrante receives research grant from the Department of History

Anna Lisa Ferrante '14, a history major, has been awarded a research grant from the Department of History. Ferrante will use the funds to buy archival folders and an archival storage box to preserve and house a collection of Maine newspapers from the World War II period.

Ferrante discovered the newspapers at a local thrift store and recognized their value for research and classroom use. Once the newspapers are in stable archival folders, they will be available for student and faculty use.
