Step 1
Compile a list of available materials relevant to your specific needs. When searching the vast knowledge available on the World Wide Web, refine your search terms to reflect exactly what you need. For example, use the terms "Hungarian Rule Under Stalin," to locate targeted information.
-
Step 2
Call a nearby university to see if they offer courses in Hungarian history. Many colleges will allow you to take a single class without enrolling as a full-time student. If a formal class isn't available, ask the University for a Guest Pass to use their library. College libraries stock an abundance of research information.

Step 3
Study the Hungarian language. Purchase software or books to study, or take an online course. Free online courses are available (see Resources below).
-
Step 4
Arrange a trip to the Cleveland Hungarian Heritage Museum to learn the history of Hungarian emigration to the United States. The Museum houses a vast repository of the history of the Hungarian State from its inception to its modern day status.

Step 5
Travel abroad. There's nothing better than living in Hungary if you want to study its history. Most universities offer one- or two-semester programs for students that want to study abroad, usually during their junior or senior year. Contact your school to see if such a program is offered.
-
Step 6
Take a trip to Budapest. (See Resources for eHow article.)
-
Step 7
Form a Hungarian history club. Ask your local library to post a notice for interested people to sign up or run an ad in the newspaper. Study is more fun when resources are shared.
