Project Details
Student will process a collection of local history documents and images. The processing of this collection includes physical arrangement and description of contents to create an online finding aid for SHSU's ArchivesSpace software. Student will learn basic archival preservation practices and procedures to address any physical issues with the materials being processed. Along with processing the collection of local history items, the student will work on researching and creating a small exhibit for physical display in the Newton Gresham Library. This exhibit will be created using resources from the Special Collections and University Archives holdings. There will also be an opportunity for the student to utilize our digitization lab to digitize a collection of materials to be displayed in our digital library. This collection of materials to be digitized will be from the physical collections of the Special Collections and University Archives department.
