Gifted Atlanta

The Atlanta History Center will host a four-day summer research seminar for high-school students, examining the timely topic of how museums shape historic narratives through their choices of what they collect, preserve, and display. Seminar students will explore the AHC’s collections and hear from experts in the field.

The program is open to rising high-school juniors and seniors. Applicants should have high-level skills in reading and discussion, and should be comfortable with collaboration and presentation.

The seminar will be held June 8-11, 2026 at AHC’s Buckhead campus. Applications are being considered on a rolling basis until all seats are filled. The application requires a recommendation from a social studies or ELA teacher.

(If you visit the web page about this program and see language about applicants being notified of their status by May 1 — and you recognize that it’s already after May 1 now — don’t be deterred. I have confirmed that as of today, open spaces remain.)
