The Archives 101 Project
Enhancing Digital Literacy in Writing Studies Classrooms
This prototype digital humanities resource was developed to support the incorporation of archival materials and digital research skills into first-year writing classes. Its aim is to increase student access to primary source materials, while supporting the development of information literacy practices through innovative course design.
The Archives 101 Project is a MLIS capstone project created in 2026 at the University of Washington iSchool.
