Guide to Integrating the Digital Collection Initiative into the Curriculum
Thank you for considering integrating this initiative into your syllabus and course. The entire Stony Brook University community was invited to participate in this rapid-response collecting project from September through June 2021. Documenting the experiences of our students during the COVID-19 pandemic was a vital component.
