Teaching support

SCA will not be offering staffed instructional sessions in Fall 2024.

Special Collections and Archives strives to cultivate students’ abilities to think critically and to contextualize, investigate and authenticate historical and cultural experience, using primary source materials. Librarians and archivists work closely with teaching faculty to develop assignments that promote and encourage these outcomes.

If you would like to work with SCA and have us support your course curriculum, please let us know as soon as possible. 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.

We can assist you with identifying relevant materials for your course or assignment or to think of creative ways to integrate primary research into your class.

Online research guides

Online guides support students in discovering discipline-related resources, learn research skills and concepts. Request customized course guides or subject guides to help your students with your class.
