Although Fondren Fellows (FF) projects vary in scope and format, they all demonstrate the knowledge and skills that students can develop in collaboration with mentors. Some projects focus on mapping historical events, while others create digital collections documenting particular communities. Other projects investigate ways to improve library services or collections, or they enrich the library's training in data literacy.
