• Key Terms: City, College, Archive
• Community Learning Initiative
definition:
“At Trinity, we define it as
a type of experiential learning—an
academic course in which the faculty
member works in partnership with a
person or group from the local community to involve students
in an experience they could not get in the classroom alone. The learning
goes both ways, as the students and community residents share
knowledge.”
3. The Site Creation Process
“The documentary
evidence of the past-
-whether it is that of
the powerful or the
powerless--is useless
for us in the present
if it simply sits in
boxes whose
contents no archivist
has catalogued or
even looked at.”-
Ellen Shrecker
