The following tutorials were developed at Digital Scholarship and Publishing Services (DSPS) of Duke University Libraries with the support of the Humanities Unbounded grant which supports leveraging digital research methods to visiting scholars and the Humanities Laboratories of the John Hope Franklin Humanities Institute. The tutorials are designed to encourage scholars to consider now digital methods may facilitate their investigations and enrich the pedagogical experience in the classroom by using archival materials as an opportunity to create significant learning experiences that motivate us to reflect on our sources in new ways. These videos have been used as standalone references as well as preliminary introductions for workshops that I have lead in person and in virtual learning environments. Each of the following methods has been framed in a way that will facilitate collaborative inquiry among scholars and students.
