Tools for Tiny Historians

Project tags:

community engagement & outreach

digital youth & youth services

Developed to help elementary grade children learn about their family, Tools for Tiny Historians includes resources on developing an interview, conducting the research process, and compiling family history. Worksheets guide students through the process and help educators create programs that will help their community, and additional linked aids help connect Tiny Historians with outside sources that will support them with any research project. With resources for students and for those working with the students, the project aims to help us learn from the people who came before us and the world of people around us.
