Unit 5 Reflection

This entire exercise has opened my eyes to the entire archival process. I know it may seem ridiculous, but this is my first time being exposed to the process that goes into analyzing primary sources and the caution needed to analyze these sources in person. Not just this but I feel like I have a much clearer understanding about some of the topics that we touched on throughout this unit and I’m confident I will be mindful of these new techniques and processes not only in this class but for the remainder of my professional career. I feel the document activity was great. It introduced the class to new skills and really made us consider new strategies and methods of thinking we may not have utilized up until now.
