College Student as Archives' Consultant? A New Approach to Outreach Programming on Campus

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Archivists agree that documenting student culture requires an understanding of student experience, current campus issues, and extracurricular activities. Yet few consult and partner with students in planning and implementing their documentary programs. This article illustrates how the use of student "consultants," through a class survey project and as part of a permanent archives student advisory committee, can cultivate successful outreach and collection-development programs.
