The San Francisco History Center (SFHC) at the San Francisco Public Library’s main branch houses a wealth of primary sources and ephemera that document life in San Francisco. While SFHC has increased its classroom visits for youth in recent years, there is opportunity to better engage K-12 students by while following educational standards such as Common Core, California History-Social Science Framework, and Guidelines for Primary Source Literacy. This project investigates and recommends methods to streamline the educational offerings of the SFHC and design a sample lesson plan that equips students with primary source literacy and neighborhood research skills.
