While my background is in European history, most of my recent research has focused on Western New York. In particular, the period between 1880 and about 1910 is becoming my area of expertise. However, I have also worked on a number of other topics and projects, including:

- The Erie Canal
- Western New York History
- Buffalo History
- Pan American Exposition 1901
- The inauguration of Theodore Roosevelt
- Buffalo and the Presidency
- Progressive Era reforms
- 1908 New York to Paris Car Race
- World War I
- The Kennedy Administration
- Presidential assassinations
- Early Modern Paleography
- Women’s History
- Women’s Suffrage
- Social Studies Education
