William Cavert
Dr. William Cavert, History Department, College of Arts and Sciences, received a one-month fellowship from the Henry E. Huntington Library of San Marino, California. The Huntington has the best collection of historical manuscripts related to British history in Cavert's period of expertise (1500-1800) anywhere in the world outside of the United Kingdom. Cavert noted, "What made it perhaps even more noteworthy was that while there I worked on my current research project, 'Winter and Discontent in Early Modern England,' which asks how people responded to dangerously hard frosts during a period when the English climate was colder than it is today. So I spent January studying winter, but I had to escape Minnesota and travel to sunny California in order to do it."
