From the Archives to the Classroom: Using Primary Sources in Your Curriculum

Go behind the scenes in the Western Reserve Historical Society Research Library! In this session, presented as part of Northeast Ohio Education Association (NEOEA) Day, we invite you to get hands-on with our archives and special collections to learn how primary sources can be used to supplement your curriculum and make history tangible for your students. Museum staff will guide you through the process, drawing on examples from our own educational programs as you learn how to research, analyze, and utilize historic documents, photographs, and more! Experience includes full museum admission (including a ride on our Euclid Beach Park Grand Carousel), optional independent research time after the program concludes, and a three-month research pass to the WRHS Research Library. Continue your experience after NEOEA Day by returning to the Research Library or by using our digital repository to access our collections from your classroom!
