History Initiatives in Need of Support
The Columbia University Department of History is one of the leading centers of historical scholarship in the world. Our approximately 50 faculty, together with colleagues in the Barnard College Department of History <http://www.barnard.edu/history/> and historians in other departments of the University, study all aspects of human history, from ancient to contemporary societies, across the entire globe. Our community includes each year around 200 graduate students and 250 undergraduate majors and concentrators. Our department has always possessed particular strengths in the history of North America, in Eastern and Western Europe, and in East Asian History. We are currently building strength and distinction in International and Global history, and many of our faculty now do research that crosses traditional geographical boundaries. One important component of this new initiative is the Center for International History (http://www.columbia.edu/cu/cih/index.html), directed by Professor Mark Mazower, and the department is committed to building an endowment for this Center. You can help support this crucial new part of the Department of History.
