Students are to create an (artificial) collection from among the Library of Congress American Memory Project holdings. The collection will be gathered from records in existing collections (as with Pinterest, but not “pinned”).
Students should select a total of 18 records, which must include no fewer than:
The remainder may be traditional print documents, visual materials, or artifacts. Choose a topic for the collection. TIP: As students gather records, they should keep good notes on provenance, so that records can be retrieved later on. Students will submit a list of records with URLs and pinned images, if possible, along with their bibliographies.
Students devise a bibliography of findings, tailoring their citations to Chicago Manual of Style and bearing in mind the need to reflect the diversity of content and format. Note: Students' searches should yield 18 items, but the bibliography need only contain 15 citations. Choose based on the research question, or include all that is discovered.
