Artifacts

My volunteerism wordle

In a rhetorical analysis course I took during my undergraduate studies my professor frequently referred to sources of research for literature review as ARTIFACTS. The thought that the academic articles I was referencing in my papers were ARTIFACTS made these sources all the more interesting to me. Below I have included links to artifacts that have been incredibly valuable to my research in the volunteer sector.

I will continually update my list of artifacts and welcome recommendations for more to include in the list.
