HNR 250. Archival Research. (3 semester hours)
In this class, students are introduced to the policies, procedures, and practices used by archivists through engaging with materials in the Barton College archive and rare book collection. Students learn about preservation and documentation of archival material in addition to technology and techniques used for analyzing primary sources. Special attention is given to interpreting materials within both their historic and contemporary contexts. Through a close study of the special collections, students develop a presentation that makes accessible archival materials to the campus community.
