Resumen
This presentation considers how opportunities for student engagement with archives can cut across disciplinary areas and majors, providing formative experiences to diverse groups of students and contributing to the fulfillment of common learning objectives at the undergraduate level related to experiential learning and the acquisition of critical skills. The three presenters include the head of Special Collections and University Archives at the University of North Florida (UNF), a member of the academic faculty, and an undergraduate computer science major. They reflect on the experiences of students and faculty who have collaborated on several digital editing projects at UNF, and most specifically the ongoing endeavor Editing the Eartha M.M. White Collection. Each presenter will reflect from their perspective on the ways that connecting students with archives through digital editing projects can contribute to enhancing education at the undergraduate level by helping students from all disciplinary areas to improve skills related to critical, creative, and integrative thinking; information literacy; effective writing; public speaking; and technology. They will also consider how these hands-on experiences can increase students' confidence through becoming active agents in meaningful processes of cultural heritage preservation and dissemination. The presenters seek to gather feedback from those at other institutions and ideas for a possible research article on this topic.
