We welcome student contributions!<\/h3>\n

Here you\u2019ll find a three-day lesson plan that introduces students to the online encyclopedia and digital archive. Feel free to try it yourself! We\u2019d love to send our research assistants to conduct this three-day lesson plan, where students will digitize historical documents from home and conduct oral histories with parents, grandparents, and neighbors. We\u2019ll bring all the equipment you\u2019ll need! Contact Jason Stacy (jstacy@siue.edu<\/a>) if you would like our research assistants to conduct this three-day lesson with your US history students. See this SIUE press release about a previous classroom visit<\/a> if you are interested.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

I liked this project, you learn about authentic items that we wouldn’t have seen if it wasn’t for this project<\/div>\n
