Details

This two‑hour interactive session introduces undergraduate students to the unique resources available through Special Collections and how these materials can support their research. Led by Special Collections librarians, the session explores the types of primary sources available, including rare books, manuscripts, archives, photographs, and university records, and demonstrates how to find and use these materials through library catalogs, finding aids, and digital collections.
Students will participate in activities to build confidence in working with primary sources and practice discovery strategies for class projects and independent research. The session also includes a guided tour of the closed stacks.
