The 2017 issue of our students’ prize-winning journal, Traces, explores the theme of Memory and Southern History. This volume includes articles by UNC undergraduates on gender and marriage during the Civil War, infanticide in the antebellum South, depictions of the Revolutionary War at historic sites, and much more. This volume also includes a new feature, “Tales from the Archive,” in which graduate history students recount their experiences conducting archival research and discuss the ways in which the past echoes in the present.
