It’s that time of year again. Summer is coming to a close and the Atlanta University Center (AUC) campuses are beginning to hustle and bustle with the activity of new and returning students. Whether you’re a student interested in finding out more about the art and historical holdings across the AUC’s cultural institutions or a faculty member looking to incorporate more artwork and primary sources into the curriculum, the new GLAM Center for Collaborative Teaching and Learning is an exciting new resource!

The AUC GLAM (Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums) Center is a collaboration between AUC’s Robert W. Woodruff Library, Archives Research Center, the Clark Atlanta University Art Museum, and the Spelman College Museum of Fine Art. In addition to providing faculty with training in object-based learning methods, the GLAM Center’s digital portal (https://glam.auctr.edu) is a centralized hub of digital images of archival and art holdings from across the GLAM Center’s member institutions, thematic digital exhibitions, and educational resources for faculty, students, and anyone interested in African-American art and history.
The GLAM Center has big plans for the 2018-2019 school year, including new exhibits and faculty workshops. Stay tuned to the AUC Woodruff Library on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram for the latest in GLAM news!
