SOURCE Explore programs are hands-on, interactive workshops designed to introduce students to research by doing short-term research activities. Led by a faculty member or research staff member, the SOURCE Explore programs are for students in their 1st or 2nd year with no prior research experience but who are curious to learn more. In this inaugural edition of the program, Finding Yourself in the Archives with Special Collections Research Center (SCRC), a student cohort worked with SCRC Instruction & Education Librarian Jana Rosinski, and SCRC Reference & Access Services Librarian Amy McDonald in a one-month archival research residency. The students learned about special collections and archives; how to find, analyze, and contextualize primary sources; and how to design and create unique creative-critical projects that explored an SCRC collection of their choosing with a topic of interest to them. Students presented their work and their experience at a research fair along with the concurrent program and cohort working with faculty in the Geography Department—Mapping Stories, Making Change with Syracuse Community Geography.
