Throughout 2020 instructors had to redesign courses to fit online as well as in-person environments. Libraries are a central hub for resources and support in this endeavour. Using real-world examples, this talk examines one area where this partnership is essential: teaching using historical documents. An activity that often happens in the classroom and archive is particularly challenging to move online, but digitised primary source collections offer the opportunity to include archival documents in newly formatted classes and assignments. We will see how traditional humanities scholarship and innovative pedagogical approaches can come together through integrating digitised primary sources into undergraduate teaching.
