Jiménez-Frei said anyone in the community is welcome to donate to the archive, just as this handmade cross stitch was donated to the archive by history student Katie Boucher.

Cheryl Jiménez-Frei, an assistant professor of history, made the decision to discontinue an exhibit made by her public history students and create a new project for the course.

Greg Kocken, the head of special collections and archives at McIntyre Library, said he had started a web archive of news stories even before connecting to Jiménez-Frei.

Jiménez-Frei said she is very proud of her public history students for taking on a new project halfway through the semester.

Regarding future plans of the archive, Jiménez-Frei said she plans on continuing this project throughout the summer and taking it into the fall semester.
