Abstract
In 2017, Atlanta University Center (AUC) Robert W. Woodruff Library received a grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to launch the GLAM (Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums) Center for Collaborative Teaching and Learning. A collaboration between the Library’s Archives Research Center, Clark Atlanta University Art Museum, and Spelman College Museum of Fine Art, the GLAM Center aims to provide faculty training in object-based pedagogy and other visual thinking strategies to encourage student interaction with art and archival materials. A primary component of this initiative is the GLAM Center’s digital portal. GLAM’s Museum Education Curator and Digital Exhibitions Coordinator will discuss important lessons learned from collaborating across institutions, building a faculty outreach program, teaching in-class sessions, and building a digital portal to increase visibility, access, and discoverability of the cultural heritage resources housed across the AUC, the world’s largest consortia of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).
