Resources Links to valuable resources for history students. Welcome to the Department of History at Sweet Briar College. Many other important historical sites are within easy driving distance. We're putting in place an emphasis on local and public history that will feature courses, internships, and cooperative endeavors with the Center for the History and Culture of Central Virginia. Our students have had internships in the recent past at the National Trust for Historical Preservation in Washington, D.C., and the National Archives in Suitland, Maryland, as well as ones nearby in Poplar Forest and at the Amherst County Historical Museum.
