The Chapman Center is an undergraduate-research-based center designed to provide hands-on experience in doing the real work of historians. We are currently located in Eisenhower Hall in the heart of the Manhattan Campus. The Center always has exciting things going on—from ongoing research into the history of African American Kansas to guest lectures to collecting recipes from home cooks! Please check back often for upcoming events and opportunities for internships and fellowships.
