The Counternarratives Digital Archive (CDA) is a resource created by students within Dr. Andrew Maginn’s history classes to highlight and promote narratives not found within traditional archives. As traditional archives are places built to support the narratives of white Americans, those of African descent and other minority groups have not had many spaces that promote their history. Through examining major American Historical events, students find “voices of the other,” or those not traditionally celebrated, and share them with the public. 
 

Beyond bringing these voices forward, the Counternarratives Digital Archive (CDA) also aims to provide a template for educators and students to create digital projects.
