University Archives Learning Modules

We offer four Canvas modules that explain the distinguishing characteristics of archives and special collections and how these unique collections can be used in research. 

These modules are:  

  • Introduction to Archives and Special Collections 
  • Working with Primary Sources
  • Suggestions for Finding Unpublished Sources 
  • Web Archives and Web Archiving

To explore all of the available modules visit the Kelvin Smith Library Instruction Hub.

Instructional videos and quizzes on understanding types and sources of research are also available in the Research Guide, Mastering Research @ KSL.
