This post was written by ASC summer intern Raul.

Hello, my name is Raul, I am a graduate student at UNO in the History MA program. I received my Bachelor’s degree in history from UNO in May 2025. This summer, I am interning at Criss Library Archives and Special Collections, where I am working with the UNO student government collection.

I am most excited to learn about the archival aspect of public history and what it takes to work in a university archive. I am a lifelong Nebraskan but I enjoy traveling especially to places that expand my knowledge of history in particular museums or historical sites.
