ENGL 399K St: Creating A Digital Archive ofýMarywood's Soicial Justice - Part 2

Students in this course will be given special access to Marywood's Archives and work under the supervision of a team of two Marywood faculty members in order to learn how to do archival research and then share their findings with the public. They will explore past newspapers, yearbooks, diaries, various multimedia records, literary magazines, and other artifacts to look for records of Marywood's social justice history. Students will transcribe interviews, help catalogue items, and develop a mini-archive of references to our history of social justice action. This is the second in a two-semester sequence (students may sign up for one semester or both) that will culminate in the creation of a digital history project as well as a written version to be given to a team of faculty writers imagining Marywood's future for the next 100 years.
