Entering the "Headspace" of Community-Based Archival Research: Reflection and Invention in an Undergraduate Community Literacy Course
Jens Lloyd
Community Literacy Journal, v18 n2 Article 5 p31-49 2024
Merging community literacy and archival research pedagogies, this article presents a qualitative study of students' reflections from a course that involves partnering with a community organization to research their archives. The article considers students' reflections about, first, learning archival methods and, second, applying these methods in a community setting. Alongside development in key areas of archival methodology, students stress the importance of sharing their research in a way that benefits the organization. The article, which is intended for teacher-scholars interested in or already involved in teaching similar courses, concludes by exploring two implications for community-engaged archival research pedagogies.
