Abstract

This chapter describes the creation of the Archive Kit, which is a digital teaching tool. It consists of a collection of digitized letters from the University of New Mexico's special collections, a worksheet, and a lesson plan. The Archive Kit is designed to be accessible, flexible, and easy to set up. This chapter has two aims: 1) to present an inclusive and effective way of teaching with digital archives while explaining its flexibility as a pedagogical resource; and 2) to describe the nuts and bolts of creating an Archive Kit from ground up (choosing letters, digitizing, making it accessible, hosting, and copyright considerations).
