Hangout is designed for students transitioning from research to project
creation. We'll be talking about what to do if you get the chance to
visit a historic site or archive, how to find

develop a good thesis statement.
Students can submit questions when they register and can live-tweet questions during the hangouts using #NHDHangouts.
