Archives and Collections Learning Intentions and Glossary
Our “Archives and Collections Learning Intentions” document provides a framework which demonstrates how the Archives and Collections can support GSA students and staff in their learning and teaching at each level of study.
You may also find it helpful to access our Archives and Collections Glossary which outlines key terminology associated with archives and museum collections.
