Course Description

Are you new to a special collections environment, or are you interested in moving in that direction? Learn more about the types of materials held by archives and rare book libraries.

This course provides a general survey on the history and characteristics of some of the most common materials found in repositories, including:
- Manuscripts
- Early printing
- Fine press and artists’ books
- Zines
- Photographs
- Correspondence
- Ephemera
- and more!

Students will examine many examples using a variety of digitized collections, and they will learn to identify and describe items.

Course Structure
This is an online class that is taught asynchronously, meaning that participants do the work on their own time as their schedules allow. The class does not meet together at any particular times, although the instructor may set up optional synchronous chat sessions. Instruction includes readings and assignments in one-week segments. Class participation is in an online forum environment.
