“Teaching Media Archives” aims to formalize the Mellencamp Archive (UWM Film Studies) as an instructional asset by developing and implementing an undergraduate certificate program in Media Archiving and Curating. The Collaboratory will focus on grant writing, course development, and identifying ways to expand, rather than replicate, an already existing curriculum while facilitating interdepartmental connections, visiting speakers, and consultants.
