SBSC270: Visual Anthropology

At the Center, you can gather ideas for a creative project, engage in scholarly research, or discover something new. Gain hands-on experience utilizing primary sources in our reading room, and explore our unique collections through an active exhibition program and campus events. As material objects with specific histories, the items in the Special Collections Center can be a great way to explore questions about conception, production, circulation, readership, and cultural histories.

This guide is designed to help researchers and educators engage primary sources with a tour of our twelve main Subcollections, as well as with introductions to our Distinctive Collections, Popular Research Categories, and Thematic Exhibitions.
