Abstract
Learning about and participating in archival research is often absent from research methodology courses within the kinesiology field. However, scholars have found that there are several benefits associated with conducting archival research, such as students increasing their critical thinking skills, social responsibility, and campus connection. The purpose of the research project was to analyze if kinesiology students (N = 7) participating in a semester long external, non-coursework, archival research project experienced a shift in their overall views of the field of kinesiology and archival research as a methodology.
