Learning about history can – and should! -- involve more than just 
reading a textbook. There is a rich and varied world in manuscripts and 
archive collections that history books can never penetrate. 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 at a basic level. We will discuss definitions, 
stumbling blocks, and gems that can be shared with their classes. 
Digital and paper examples will be given. Expect a lot of discussion; 
the more participants contribute from their own experiences, the better 
the workshop will be.
