NUESTRAS HISTORIAS: Archiving Latinx Identity at Davidson project "About" page explains: "We hope that this archive serves as a resource for those conducting research, incoming students, and all those who seek to further their understanding of what it means for different students to be Latinx at Davidson." 

The project began under the leadership of Dr. Jane Mangan as part of her U.S. Latinx History course. The class worked with Archives staff to collect oral histories and archival documents related to the history of Latinx identity at Davidson College. The project website contains oral histories, photographs, and interpretative essays. The website is in both Spanish and English.

The History of Jewishness at Davidson "about" page in 2024.

The History of Jewishness at Davidson was a student-led collaborative project between students, Dr. Scott Denham, and the Archives "on the history of Jewishness at Davidson. In response to the broader campus climate following the unmasking of Davidson students with neo-Nazi affiliation on November 7th, 2018, a group of seven students formed an independent study and set out to write the first history of Jewishness at Davidson."

The project website houses oral histories, archival documents, crowdsourced documents, and interpretative essays providing context for the issues discussed on the site.
