Learning Lab

 

The SC Learning Lab is a center of primary research, experiential learning, and training.

 

Concept

 

Targeting undergraduate students in the humanities, social sciences, and arts, the SC Learning Lab provides training in archival methods by pairing advanced undergraduate students with unprocessed or under-processed archival collections in their research area.  The internship promotes undergraduate research, scholarship, and creativity and more fully integrates Special Collections into the teaching and research mission of the University.

 

Undergraduate students will be taught how to arrange and describe rare or unique collections in their area of research interest, while enhancing access through the production of guides, exhibits, or transcriptions. In addition to their training, the interns will create and present a poster, presentation, or exhibit, reflecting on the impact the internship had on their research.

 

Applications for fall 2012 and spring 2013 are available now!
