The Center for Early Modern History promotes scholarly inquiry into the interchange of peoples, goods, and ideas that marks the first era of global contacts, ca. 1300-1800. Since its founding, the Center has drawn on the talents of faculty and students from a variety of disciplines, with interests in many parts of the world, for a vibrant program of intellectual exchange.

You Make Us Great

The Center for Early Modern History (CEMH) is a valuable resource not only for students and faculty at the University of Minnesota, but for researchers around the world. For nearly 25 years, we have been pioneers in studying the early modern period with a global and interdisciplinary perspective.

We are pleased to announce the creation of the Center for Early Modern History Founders Fund. The Founders Fund honors the many faculty and staff members who have been instrumental in the Center's formation and continued success over the years. In 2012, we will celebrate the Center's 25th anniversary, a fitting occasion to honor those who have made the Center strong!

What Your Gift Can Do

Since our founding, we have been fortunate to have the generous financial support of friends and alumni like you. The Founders Fund is housed at the University of Minnesota Foundation and will provide valuable financial support for CEMH programming and operations. Your contribution allows us to sustain the excellence of our ongoing programs:

• Publications, including the book series Minnesota Studies in Early Modern History.
• Conferences and workshops, which draw attendees from around the world.
• Support for faculty and graduate students, the lifeblood of our work.

Gifts to the Founders Fund will also help us pursue exciting new initiatives such as a program of digital publication, additional graduate student fellowships, and public outreach.
