A comment about the Archives

I think what's really cool about this course is that we got to go to the archives and look through some of what they have down there. I never even knew we had an archives room at Rollins College and I think that some people probably graduate and leave Rollins without ever knowing about it. It's definitely a different take on looking a history when you're holding history in your hands and looking at actual documents. More classes should incorporate the archives into their curriculum or at least have it as a bonus assignment so that some students would be inclined to go and check it out!
