Archival research is the cornerstone of historical discovery.  This course will introduce students to the archive: what constitutes a collection, how collections and archives come to be and are consciously shaped, and the questions this raises about historical memory.  Students will learn hands on archival research skills: how to find archival material, work with collections, analyze findings, and follow questions of inquiry, advertising.
