From all of us, we hope you are safe and well.
As we all face the impacts of COVID-19, we will continue to make available historical resources that inspire, delight, and enlighten. Many of our content partners – libraries, museums, historical societies, and other cultural institutions – have had to close their doors to support public health and safety. However, their collections are still available online and we want to make sure we continue to share the richness of our state’s history and support Wisconsin educators who have moved their classrooms to virtual environments.
Over the last week on our Facebook page, we’ve highlighted the people and the work that demonstrate the strength and resilience of Wisconsinites, from nurses to the Civilian Conservation Corps to grocery store employees to victory gardens,
The Recollection Wisconsin website features useful resources for teachers, including online exhibits and classroom activities for social studies and language arts. Our partners across the state also offer valuable resources for virtual classroom use, including:
- Primary Source Sets, from the Digital Public Library of America
- Wisconsin Historical Society Office of School Services
- Wisconsin Historical Newspapers Online
- PBS Wisconsin Education Resources, including Wisconsin Biographies
We hope these help, in their own small way, to move us through this challenge. Please contact us at info@recollectionwisconsin.org if you have questions or comments, and stay well.
