Resurrecting Significant Collections: Exploring the Limited Assembly of Student Artifacts at Mollys School in Denvers Second District

Abstract

This paper examines the limited collection of student artifacts at Molly's School in Denver's Second District and investigates the potential for resurrecting these collections. Through qualitative case study research, the study utilizes a triangulation of data collection methods, including interviews with school administrators, teachers, and students, observation of classroom practices, and examination of historical archives. Findings suggest that the collection of student artifacts at Molly's School has been limited due to factors such as lack of resources, competing priorities, and a lack of understanding about the value of preserving student work. However, the study identifies ways in which schools can prioritize the preservation of student artifacts, such as investing in proper storage and display equipment, incorporating artifact preservation into the curriculum, and collaborating with community partners to develop sustainable preservation practices. The paper concludes by discussing the importance of preserving student artifacts as a means of honoring student voice, celebrating diversity, and contributing to the cultural heritage of a community.
