The Philippines and the University of Michigan, 1870-1935

The Philippines and the University of Michigan, 1870-1935” explores materials contained at the University of Michigan’s Bentley Historical Library related to the US colonial period in the Philippines. The exhibit offers a primer in critical historical methods as much as it offers an introduction to a particular episode in the history of American empire and the history of the Philippines. 

This exhibit is part of Michigan in the World (MITW), a paid undergraduate internship program where students develop online public exhibitions about the history of the University of Michigan and its relationships with the wider world. MITW is coordinated by the U-M History Department in partnership with the Bentley Historical Library and the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts
