One of the primary missions of the Archive of Documentary Arts is to support undergraduate and graduate teaching. Reference archivists are delighted to provide class presentations to introduce students to materials that relate to their class research projects, to place selected materials on reserve for students to consult, or to reserve a room where smaller classes may meet to work with Archive of Documentary Arts materials.

Class Presentations

The Archive of Documentary Arts staff is happy to provide an orientation to our materials for your students, supply digital images for your Blackboard course site or other networked presentation, arrange educational film screenings, or create Web pages specifically designed for your class’s use of our materials.

Please contact Karen Glynn or Kirston Johnson for more information.

Course Reserves

Please contact us to request that Archive of Documentary Arts materials be placed on hold for part or all of a semester. Your students will be able to use them in our secure reading room after completing the registration process.

Meeting in Special Collections

If your class needs to examine Archive of Documentary Arts materials as a group, please contact us to reserve a meeting room and for our help with facilitating access to our collections for your class meeting.
