“New Works from Old Formats: Teaching the History of Print” by Marten Stromberg, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign
Works from Old Formats: Teaching the History of Print” Although much research has been done related to education in the Humanities, much less has been written on the use of Special Collections in Arts Education. Specifically, in using special collections to inspire artistic creation while simultaneously teaching research methods and engaging students with history. This paper will summarize two case studies conducted with students during the spring semester 2012.;
“Original to Digital Surrogates, Using Rare Books” by Danelle Moon and Katherine D. Harris, San Jose State University
In this short paper, co-presenters Danelle Moon and Katherine D. Harris, will discuss the perils and successes of shepherding a student-driven, interdisciplinary scholarly, sustainable digital project towards completion. By providing students with the opportunity to craft the entire project, from initial Humanistic inquiry to public digital scholarship, the Beard-stair Project illustrates the value of diverse collaboration, diverse approaches to teaching, pedagogy, interaction with physical and digital humanities resources, and the role that special collections and archival programs can play in supporting the growth of Digital Humanities study, research, and scholarship."
