Instruction

The goal of archival instruction sessions taught by the Avery Research Center faculty is to give students the knowledge, skills, and abilities necessary to effectively and efficiently find, interpret, and use archives, manuscripts, and other types of unique primary sources.


Our sessions are tailored to the needs of particular classes or special interest groups. Additionally, we can give presentations to departmental faculty and staff who wish to incorporate primary source materials into their course work. For more information about services that we can provide please see here.
