教师: Jake Smith 

The Colorado College Archival Project is a collaboration between students, 教师, and staff in the 历史 Department and the Library designed to archive Colorado College community members' experiences of the pandemic, the protests against systemic racism and police brutality, and the countless events that have shaped our lives over the course of 2020. Archival records are often distorted, favoring certain voices over others. We hope to work against that by collecting and archiving a multiplicity of different voices and experiences.
