This one-hour online seminar is intended for faculty who are interested in (1) developing a new, stand-alone archaeological curation and/or collections management course or (2) integrating topics of curation into existing curriculum.
- Provide faculty with a guide for creating a new, stand-alone course focused on archaeological curation or integrating curation into existing curriculum.
- Offer participants pathways for developing the course description, content, objectives, and reading list.
- Recommend strategies for determining which option is best (new course vs. integrating into existing curriculum).
