Join Molly Brown and Regina Pagani to learn about a collaboration between Boston Public School educators and the Northeastern University Archives and Special Collections that brought high school students into the archives to do primary source research. In this webinar we’ll share strategies for creating and sustaining partnerships with external collaborators, the process of incorporating archives into curricula, and specific activities for engaging students in primary source research. Using our collaboration with Boston Public School educators as a guide we'll discuss using experiential and hands-on techniques of teaching with archives.  Anyone interested in archives, teaching with primary sources, and growing your collaborative network is welcome! 
 
After this webinar attendees should be able to: 

• Envision how to use collections to engage local partners 
• Identify collection strengths and how to leverage them for collaboration
