A collaboration between Penfield Library, student researchers and Technology Education led to digitization of an important resource recently.
Technology education faculty member Karin Dykeman and graduate student assistant Bryleigh Beauchat collaborated with Digital Collections Librarian Marissa Caico and Archives and Special Collections student assistant Infiniti Robinson to digitize The Spokesman, a journal from the New York State Industrial Arts Association (now New York State Technology and Engineering Educators Association) collection held in Archives and Special Collections at Penfield Library. The Spokesman is now accessible publicly on the SUNY Digital Repository and will be a part of a larger collection of the New York State Technology and Engineering Educators Association.
Making a resource like The Spokesman available online will support students doing research on the history of technology education in SUNY Oswego’s program as well as technology education programs across the state and beyond.
