Students in Professor Burkert’s English 250 and English 470 classes created a collection of digitized archival materials in collaboration with the nonprofit organization Beyond Toxics. With guidance from Digital Scholarship Librarian Kate Thornhill, students catalogued primary sources related to environmental racism and activism in the Eugene-Springfield community. The items are held in a static CollectionBuilder site to support ongoing & future research.
