- Archival Storytelling

Catalog description

Introduction to organizing and inventorying archival materials and the legal and ethical considerations of collections-based research and presentation.  Working hands-on and collectively with an institutional or individual collection, students will develop an understanding of a collection's origins and character, contribute to the collection's finding aids or organizations, and identify story ideas and materials. By the end of the semester, students will present proposals for stories that could be told from the collection, through exhibition, media, or multi-media project.
