LITR 585 - Research in Literary Archives

3 Credit(s)

This course develops skills in accessing and utilizing archives of literary materials, including primary texts but also ephemera, diaries, personal correspondence, or other aspects of collected printed materials. Focusing on micromaterials collections in the Crumb Library (e.g. microfilm and microfiche), as well as digital archives, students rely on printed indices and databases to develop self-directed, interdisciplinary research projects that synthesize analyses of primary and secondary materials. Authors and focus will vary from semester to semester.

Prerequisite(s): LITR 200 or LITR 201 and LITR 300; or Graduate Standing.
