Last summer, UM History grad student Daniel Formella used the Department's Summer Research Grant to dig into the archives at the National Library of Peru. His research focuses on Twentieth-century Peruvian guerrilla movements.

Daniel’s favorite research moment: reading clandestine newspapers published by a Maoist organization... while Peruvian military helicopters practiced overhead outside the archive.
