Archives & Special Collections collects, preserves, and makes available primary source resources for a variety of experiential learning opportunities. Across the collecting areas: Ohio University Archives, Rare Books, Manuscript Collections, and the Documentary Photography Archive, we provide primary source and visual literacy instruction focused on encouraging critical thinking and inquiry through hands-on engagement with original materials and through supportive group discussions. Opportunities exist for topic or theme specific sessions or general introductions to archival and special collections materials, behind-the-scenes tours, or workshops (zine-making, cursive, artists’ books, etc.). We also welcome your ideas! Learn more on the OHIO Archives Blog (most posts by OHIO students), the Digital Archives, and through digital exhibits.
