Empowering Students to Study the Past and Shape the Future

Help Support Future History Makers!

Together, we can ensure that the Department of History at Stony Brook remains a hub for learning and innovation. Invest in the future by honoring the past!

Giving

History comes to life when students work directly with the sources that shape our understanding of the past. Through visits to archives, libraries, museums and historical sites, students learn how historical knowledge is discovered and interpreted.

Giving Day 2026 , we invite you to support student research in history and help provide opportunities for students to explore the sources that bring history to life.
