This guide provides examples of possible research topics and corresponding sources in the Oakland University Archives , housed at Kresge Library.
The Oakland University Archives house materials documenting the history of Oakland University. These materials can be used for history papers, placing OU within its broader political, social and economic contexts.
An example of a successful paper is Michael Westphal's "Death of the Oakland Observer: A Students' History of Oakland University in the 1960s," written for Professor Clark's HST497 class in Winter 2008.
Note that the list in this guide is by no means exhaustive.
