Archival pedagogy prioritizes student-driven inquiry as part of a process of reciprocal teaching and learning. Heather Fox and Amanda Stuckey edit a volume that offers teaching stories and materials that address the gap between research and educating students.The contributors examine approaches that integrate exhibitions with archived artifacts, collections, recovery, and digital humanities projects. Throughout, they connect these approaches to conversations about using archived materials in teaching and learning. The essays also feature observations about the work produced from collaborations and provide resources for sustaining future archival pedagogy. Topics include teaching in the twenty-first century; ways to support inclusivity, accessibility, and equity through engagements with digital and non-digital sources; and partnerships across disciplines, grade levels, and learning spaces through the collaborative relationships that emerge from archival teaching.Interdisciplinary and up-to-date, Students in the Archives reveals how engagement with archived artifacts and collections opens spaces for conversations about the historical, social, and political contexts embedded in their productions and dissemination.

An inspiring tale of life, love, and loyalty, Whisper recounts our fall off the mountain, the struggle to survive, and the sacrifices of those who search and rescue. A relaxing trail ride in the mountains with friends turns desperate suddenly when the trail edge crumbles and my horse, Whisper, tumbles off the side. The pitch is perilously steep and covered with snow, large rocks, and downed trees with broken branches. As our situation worsens and I must ask Whisper to do impossible things, his iron will and unshakable loyalty reveal the true strength of a bond that has been years in the making. As miracles unfold, I see it's no accident I have this horse ... on this ride . . . in this dire situation. Everything happens for a reason, and the story of Whisper began long before this ordeal. Flashback chapters tell how I bought a scared and skinny old horse that nobody wanted because he "e;whispered"e; in my ear, the both funny and frustrating struggles to overcome his fears and establish trust, and the staggering reward of his loyalty at any cost.
