Here's what Mary in Florida wrote about the free, self-administered online course here:
Thank you so much for making this free introductory course to archives available online! I took one archival studies course while completing the requirements for my B.A. in History in the early 2000's and enjoyed it very much - so in many ways this online course was a refresher but at the same time included valuable new information to me. I eventually want to work as a digital archivist or audio-visual archivist and am in the process of gaining knowledge and practice in the field.
Above all, thank you so much for making this course enjoyable from start to finish! Gratefully yours.
