• Community Learning Initiative definition: “At Trinity, we define it as a type of experiential learning—an academic course in which the faculty member works in partnership with a person or group from the local community to involve students in an experience they could not get in the classroom alone. The learning goes both ways, as the students and community residents share knowledge.”

The Site Creation Process

“The documentary evidence of the past--whether it is that of the powerful or the powerless--is useless for us in the present if it simply sits in boxes whose contents no archivist has catalogued or even looked at.”- Ellen Shrecker
