In this class students will learn various ways to research the history of their hometown beyond the classroom. These resources I provide are only relevant to the United States. This includes sources such as Sanborn maps, census records, local and state archives and oral history. No prior knowledge of any of these tools is required, as I will explain each source and its importance and relevance to the history of their hometown. I will use an combination of Canva presentation, audio and video clips when applicable. I will start the class with an warm up question to gauge any prior knowledge or interest.
Learning Goals
Students will improve understanding of their own local hometown history through mediums such as local records, maps, census records, local and state archives, and oral history.Other Details
