This week I co-presented, with Amistad staff, to Tulane University history students. My part of the class presentation included a quick overview of how archives differ from libraries in both the types of materials they hold and the way the materials are accessed. I also focused on common tools the students might use to find useful material in archives, including finding aids (we viewed Archon for examples); subject guides; card catalogs; online catalogs and databases; online bibliographies; and digital collections and digital archives. The students responded to our presentation with enthusiasm!
Until next week!
Peace
