In this assignment, students in English 510 (Critical Methods in English) practiced archival research skills as they explored how previous generations have engaged with literature in Cortland. Each student chose an archival object to research from SUNY Cortland's collection. Students then created public-facing posters describing their observations and providing context about their items in relation to the history of the college. Students were also welcomed to reflect on how learning more about what literature meant to previous readers and writers at Cortland might impact their own understandings of what it means to be a reader and writer at Cortland now. In our final class period, students displayed their posters in a research showcase, as a collaboration between English Department MA and MAT students.
