“…The main emphasis of these studies is on school collaborations and the support of small Anand et al (2015) illustrated how students' understanding of SD can be fostered by their participation in a regional education initiative aimed at integrating SD into the member institutions. Other studies exemplified the support of HEIs to establish a high school archival program (Fernekes and Rosenberg, 2008), to reopen a closed school (Officer et al, 2011), and to educate high school students (Lynch, et al, 2005). The support of local businesses is described by Hill et al (2016), who analyzed the process of knowledge exchange from an HEI to rural businesses, and Riebe (2012), who studied the benefits of university-based entrepreneur centers for women.…”

Purpose This paper aims to conceptualize impacts of higher education institutions (HEIs) on sustainable development (SD), complementing previous literature reviews by broadening the perspective from what HEIs do in pursuit of SD to how these activities impact society, the environment and the economy. Design/methodology/approach The paper provides a systematic literature review of peer-reviewed journal articles published between 2005 and 2017. Inductive content analysis was applied to identify major themes and impact areas addressed in the literature to develop a conceptual framework detailing the relationship between HEIs’ activities and their impacts on SD. Findings The paper identifies six impact areas where direct and indirect impacts of HEIs on SD may occur. The findings indicate a strong focus on case studies dealing with specific projects and a lack of studies analyzing impacts from a more holistic perspective. Practical implications This systematic literature review enables decision-makers in HEIs, researchers and educators to better understand how their activities may affect society, the environment and the economy, and it provides a solid foundation to tackle these impacts. Social implications The review highlights that HEIs have an inherent responsibility to make societies more sustainable. HEIs must embed SD into their systems while considering their impacts on society. Originality/value This paper provides a holistic conceptualization of HEIs’ impacts on SD. The conceptual framework can be useful for future research that attempts to analyze HEIs’ impacts on SD from a holistic perspective.

“…One exception is when students are asked to create or contribute to archives housed at their own schools. Fernekes and Rosenberg (2008) describe one such program in which University Special Collections and University Archives collaborated with The Hunterdon Central Regional High School Archives. Archivists from Rutgers served as consultants for the development of policies and processes for the high school archives; they also offered instruction during field trips to the Rutgers archives and served as independent reviewers for high school students' archive projects, offering feedback on how to improve and foster further development of the high school archive program.…”

With the publication of Studies in Historical Method in 1896, Mary Sheldon Barnes introduced the “Source Method” of teaching history to secondary educators (Cherry, 2010). In this method, students investigate and develop an understanding of history by interacting with primary sources, documents generated in the period of history students are studying. It was not until 1986, however, that a work in the literature of archives articulated the potential for collaboration between archivists and K-12 educators, when Ken Osborne asserted, “if archives are to realize anything like their educational potential, there will have to be a good deal of joint planning and consultation between archivists and educators” (1986, p. 28).Over the past thirty years, many cultural heritage organizations, including state archives, the Library of Congress, and special collections library members of American Research Libraries have undertaken K-12 outreach activities (Cherry, 2010; Visser, 2006). Such activities can serve not only as educational outreach but also advocacy opportunities for archives as institutions and archivists as a profession (Dickson & Gorzalski, 2013). This literature review examines archival and special collections outreach for the K-12 audience, providing a rationale and identifying opportunities for such outreach, describing the current landscape of digital K-12 archival outreach projects, offering examples of non-digital K-12 outreach projects, highlighting projects that exemplify integrated and collaborative approaches, and comparing proposed models for future outreach projects
