Instructional Resources

The Concordia College Archives houses a number of collections that are useful for course projects. We encourage faculty to contact the Archives to discuss materials that are relevant to and available for assignments. Please contact Lisa Sjoberg to schedule a class visit at either 218.299.3180 or sjoberg@cord.edu. Below are some examples of how the Archives has been used for research projects and/or class visits:
  • Women’s Studies – investigating how women’s issues experienced at Concordia relate to the women’s movement on a national level
  • Inquiry Written Communication – analyzing print and digital materials to distinguish the differences, similarities, benefits, and drawbacks of both material types
  • Communication Studies: Applied Research Methods – studying college publications to discern how the idea of community was shared with perspective students, alumni, and donors
  • Communication Studies: Interviewing – completing oral history interviews with Concordia faculty, staff, and alumni
  • Inquiry Oral Communication – investigating social issues at Concordia to develop a public policy speech (e.g. recycling on campus)
  • History: Research Seminar – researching various Concordia-related topics to write an in-depth historical analysis
  • Education: Social Studies Methods – discussing various tools, practices, and methods of using archival resources in social studies curriculum
