The SAFA program brings students and faculty from three local schools to the archives of the Brooklyn Historical Society. The goals of the program are to develop faculty teaching with primary sources, create a collaborative network among the schools, and enhance student learning and engagement. The program is grant funded and involves class visits to the archives, staff visits to campus, and other activities. It has had success in increasing student and faculty use of the archives and demonstrating the relevance of archival materials.
