H. Duane Hampton

This month, H. Duane Hampton, Emeritus Professor in the History Department and the namesake of our Public History Program, passed away. In addition to being a scholar and teacher, Hampton was a prominent part of Missoula’s community and a profoundly influential mentor to many young historians, particularly those working in public history. “Hamp,” as he was known affectionately by his multitude of friends, was a wonderful person who lived a full life. We are so honored to have a public history program named after him.
