A UCM Master of Arts in History graduate student, Anna Furney, spoke about the opportunity to get involved in the project, noting, 鈥淭he most important thing I learned by working on the Historic 蘑菇短视频 tours was how to further develop my research skills. Sometimes it can be hard to find information on a particular historic site due to lack of digitization or recordkeeping, but I was able to uncover new resources, databases, and helpful individuals in local historical societies that greatly aided my research. I had never before worked on a project where the source of information I used was so diversified. This is very important to honing one鈥檚 skills as a historian, and to be able to work with a variety (or lack thereof) of sources was a great experience for me.鈥�
