Heritage Resources Laboratory
The Heritage Resources Laboratory facility allows students training in the proper use of field and research equipment, such as cameras, audio and video recorders, and appropriate computer programs for heritage resources projects. It serves as a unit for individualized and small-group instruction involving oral history auditing, editing, transcription, and indexing techniques; artifact and historic photograph study and analysis through slides or direct observation; and manuscript analysis with the assistance of data bases, microfilm, overhead projection, and VCR programming. It provides students ready access to a small, specialized, and current library of tapes, slides, texts, manuals, and technical pamphlets for in-house use. This laboratory offers students a quiet, well equipped environment to pursue their individual research projects, with out-of-class access to computers, microfilm readers, and transcribers.
