Teaching support

Special Collections and Archives strives to cultivate students’ abilities to think critically and to contextualize, investigate and authenticate historical and cultural resources. Librarians and archivists work closely with teaching faculty to develop sessions that promote and encourage these outcomes. SCA is prepared to continue supporting you and your students. SCA will be delivering all of our instruction via an online platforms as a result of health and safety concerns associated with COVID-19. We will not be conducting on-site tours or in-person instruction sessions in the department or in the library.

If you would like to work with SCA and have us support your course curriculum, please let us know as soon as possible. To schedule an instruction session, we will need two weeks’ advanced notice. Please use the Instruction Request form, or contact the SCA Desk during business hours (8am-4pm, M-F), or e-mail us at  Special.Collections@nau.edu . We also have numerous LibGuides and virtual exhibits available online for you and your students to use.
