Introduction:
TIELab's Local Historical Archives Project brings valuable
historical records -- from maps and official documents to journals
and photographs -- off of dusty shelves and into the classroom.
It involves students directly -- as photographers, scanners and
apprenctice historians -- in the creation of an online town historical
archive that will grow into a curricular resource for local teachers.
TIELab partners with schools, libraries and historical societies
to create this archive whose principal purpose is to make learning
about history more engaging to students.
