Building Parchives Project

Teaching Resource OVERVIEW

For this collaborative archive-building assignment, groups of students will be assigned one national park. Throughout the term, each student will share at least four digital artifacts—photos, maps, digital humanities projects, films, online artwork, news articles, posters, etc.—connected to their assigned park. The purpose of this assignment is to view parks as spaces that inspire diverse physical and digital archives and to understand “the archive” as a living, expanding, in-process collection.
