Learning about history can involve more than just reading a textbook—and 
should! There is a rich and varied world in manuscripts and archive 
collections that history books can never present. However, finding a 
path through these collections can be intimidating, particularly when 
there are so few opportunities to navigate this 'raw material' of 
history. This workshop will walk educators through the wilderness of an 
archive—highlighting effective research techniques, pitfalls and 
stumbling blocks, and gems that they can share with their classes. 
Participants will try out some practical applications within the 
Congregational Library based on the theories discussed during class.
