Book Description

This open-access handbook serves as both a textbook for those interested in learning about handling and using archival and primary source materials, and a guide for educators teaching these skills.

The handbook is organized into three sections:

  • Reference: This section includes encyclopedia-style chapters that provide context and aids researchers and learners in understanding how archival collections and the materials in them work and can be “read.”
  • Lesson Plans: This section includes activities and classes that can be used as written, or modified, by educators.
  • Pedagogy: This section includes educational theories and practices that inform teaching with primary and archival sources.
