How can Special Collections support my teaching?

  • Instruction sessions​ in historical topics strongly represented in our collections
    
    
  • Primary source literacy ​tools: examples of numerous documentary genres, 1600s-present
    
    
  • Digital humanities​ project source material: digitized images, corpora of transcriptions, historical datasets, library metadata
    
    
  • Applied learning​ opportunities for students in projects such as document transcription, research, and creating physical or digital exhibits
