The Washington & Lee University Library conducted a series of semi-structured interviews in Fall 2019 to investigate the practices of Washington & Lee University (W&L) undergraduate instructors who teach with primary sources. The project’s scope included only interview participants from the humanities and social sciences. This local project is part of a suite of parallel studies housed at 25 institutions of higher education in the United States and United Kingdom, coordinated by Ithaka S+R, a not-for-profit research and consulting service. From these interviews, the researchers identified five major themes: how faculty learned to teach with primary sources and how they disseminate knowledge on the subject; how they utilize a variety of types and formats across primary sources; how instructors find, organize, and share primary sources; how they employ primary sources to reach pedagogical goals through innovative methods of classroom praxis, including the incorporation of digital tools and methodologies; and how instructors use campus resources, specifically Special Collection & Archives and Museums at W&L. The information presented within these themes sheds light on the need for educational and outreach opportunities broadly related to improving primary source literacy; exploring a scaffolded approach to teaching with primary sources; creating a personal approach to organizing primary sources; and learning about locally available primary sources.

This case study describes two iterations of a Digital Humanities “Studio” course on scholarly text encoding as a model for Digital Humanities curriculum at a small liberal arts college. Designed to accompany a three-credit humanities course, the one-credit DH Studios are taught by library faculty. The paired courses share a final project – a digital edition of a short work of literature encoded in the Text Encoding Initiative. The DH Studio creates a methodology-focused environment for students to practice information and digital literacies.
