U.S. History 🇺🇸 |
The Clemente Course in the Humanities, a 2014 National Humanities Medalist, serves hundreds of adults around the country each year. Many Clemente students pursue much of their academic work in the nation's public libraries, which are now largely closed. With support from Bard College and state humanities councils including Mass Humanities, Clemente instructors in Worcester and across the nation are looking to provide students and alumni with digital access to materials that can help further their educations. Here are some relevant titles from the National Emergency Library, via archive.org, freely available with the use of a virtual library card. |
