THIS EVENT HAS BEEN POSTPONED. WE WILL EMAIL REGISTRANTS AND WILL UPDATE THIS LISTING AS SOON AS A NEW DATE HAS BEEN SET.

Join UCSC History professor Ben Breen, who will discuss how his evolving research interests have led him to look at sources close to home. Professor Breen has been at UCSC since 2017. His work includes the histories of the Portuguese, Spanish, and British empires, as well as the history of science, medicine, and magic. Selected archives from UCSC Special Collections & Archives will be available for browsing.

CART Commons programs are hosted by Special Collections & Archives, University Library, in collaboration with the Elisabeth Remak-Honnef Center for Archival Research and Training (CART).

CART Commons fosters a sense of community for UC Santa Cruz graduate students involved in archival research. Gatherings include hands-on archival explorations and informal presentations alongside opportunities to consider questions related to primary source research practices. Please visit the CART Commons website to learn more and join the CART Commons Mailing List.

Land Acknowledgement

The land on which we gather is the unceded territory of the Awaswas-speaking Uypi Tribe. The Amah Mutsun Tribal Band, comprised of the descendants of indigenous people taken to missions Santa Cruz and San Juan Bautista during Spanish colonization of the Central Coast, is today working hard to restore traditional stewardship practices on these lands and heal from historical trauma.

The land acknowledgement used at UC Santa Cruz was developed in partnership with the Amah Mutsun Tribal Band Chairman and the Amah Mutsun Relearning Program at the UCSC Arboretum.
