Teaching American History

The American Antiquarian Society is partnering with a number of school systems and educational associations to develop comprehensive teacher training programs under the United States Department of Education's Teaching American History (TAH) initiative. These projects involve a wide range of activities from full graduate level courses to one-week institutes to single seminars and workshops. These programs frequently involve lectures and discussions by prominent historians and scholars many of whom are AAS members and fellows and intensive hands-on experiences with primary source texts and images from the Society's collections. Current and past AAS-TAH projects and programs are listed here with links to more detailed descriptions and information.

• Keepers of the Republic (with the Worcester Public Schools)
• Preserving Our Democracy (with the Worcester Public Schools)
• Securing the Blessings of Liberty (with Worcester Public Schools)
• Citizenship, Property, Identity, and Representation: The Historical Journey of Southern New England's Native Peoples (with Abby Kelly Foster Charter Public School)
• Windows into America's Past (with the Hudson Public Schools)
• Liberty and Justice for All (with Area Cooperative Educational Services in Hamden, CT)
