Educational Resources
The AUC GLAM Center develops teaching and learning methods that promote in-depth faculty and student engagement with artworks, artifacts and other primary source materials from the AUC Robert W. Woodruff Library, Clark Atlanta University Art Museum, Spelman College Museum of Fine Art and the AUC Archives Research Center. We offer one on one consultation services with archivists and/or GLAM Center staff, in class instructional sessions, monthly faculty develop workshops, and collaborative assignment creation.

I was exposed to a great array of resources and expertise in the AUC that I wasn’t aware of before. I have a better sense of how to navigate within the archives (and I am still learning)!
While I have completed substantial archival research, I did not have knowledge about processing archival documents before working with the AUC GLAM programs and staff. The knowledge is transforming the way I am organizing archival materials related to my current and future research projects.
It [AUC GLAM Faculty Fellowship] provides the opportunity to engage students in different ways. All assignments developed through GLAM have been well received and my experiences with the GLAM staff have been positive.
Being a GLAM Faculty has transformed my pedagogical practices and improved the quality of student engagement in each of my courses. I have expanded the ways in which I assess student outcomes and integrated multiple aspects in the use of object-based learning in each of my courses.
I have learned to be more intentional with assignments and to structure ways to digitally archive in-class work.
I have gained considerable knowledge around the importance of collaborative projects that are possible with faculty and students in the AUC.
Martina Dodd and Tiffany Atwater have given my students access to unique materials they would not have seen outside the archive. But perhaps even more important, they have shown my students HOW to look at historical material in a deep way. The material in the archive is deeply relevant, but the habits of looking and questioning that are cultivated through archival experiences are even more valuable.
Library staff helped to ensure that students had access to the resources necessary to conduct research and complete papers and projects. Virtual sessions provided students with clarity and direction; they appreciated the opportunity to reach out to library staff with questions specific to their individual assignments.
The staff at Woodruff Archives offered support that significantly enhanced my classroom experience. Many of my students worked with archival material for the first time at Woodruff, and I’m grateful for the expertise that Tiffany Atwater, Martina Dodd, and Sarah Tanner shared with us.
