Title: Interacting with history
Description: Primary sources have the authenticity and power to bring history to life, allowing students to connect with the voices and images of real people from the past. Helping students analyze and interpret primary sources in context leads to development of historical empathy. The challenge to teach students to apply critical thinking and inquiry skills is also a golden opportunity for librarians to teach the skills of their library information skills curricula.
