Unique Resources at FIU Libraries Special Collections & University Archives
Please join us for our first Virtual Digital Scholar Studio Workshop of Fall 2021!
Have you ever visited the archives at FIU Libraries? Do you know what a reading room is? A manuscript? A primary source? A finding aid? You are invited to attend an online workshop that will provide attendees with an overview of the archives and how to use any special collections and archives through a “search” for primary source materials. Join our Special Collections Librarian and Digital Archivist as we walk through finding primary source materials. Become familiar with the FIU Special Collections and University Archives department and the unique and rare primary sources available to you.
Wednesday, September 8th, 2:30-3:30PM
