Special Collections : Instruction

In our sessions, we share and contextualize physical objects to help students explore material for an assignment or project or to provide a deeper understanding  of the subject.

To foster discovery for your students, we will work with you to: 

• Suggest objects to support learning objectives 
• Offer guides to collections and to navigating search and discovery 
• Keep materials on hold in our Reading Room for your students' sustained engagement 

To develop students’ analytical skills and engage their imaginations, we can: 

• Lead interactive sessions with materials  
• Help you create assignments or projects using our collections 

To assist students, we're ready to:   

• Mentor students in locating, using, and understanding our materials 
• Provide individual consultations 

 Please contact a Special Collections staff member to work out specific arrangements.
