DESTINATIONS

  • Description: This is a companion resource for a Gen Ed course assignment for Professor Menand's US/W 23 "Art and Thought in the Cold War" (spring '11). It offers context and a place to begin for students who will need to locate a primary source document in one of Harvard's libraries. Images of related artifacts from the library's collections are featured as samples to stimulate students' curiosity. It serves as a nice model for an alternative to the traditional research guide.
