When we ask students to work with and learn from primary sources, we transform them into historians. 

Helping Engage Students

Rather than passively receiving information from a teacher or textbook, students engage in the activities of historians — making sense of the stories, events and ideas of the past through document analysis.

We are here to help you give your students hands-on access to primary sources and analysis techniques that will form a connection to historical evidence and deepen their understanding of the past.
