From the Gilder Lehrman website:

"Between ca. 1500 and ca. 1800, the lands bordering the Atlantic Ocean saw the creation, destruction, and re-creation of communities as a result of the movement of peoples, commodities, institutions, social practices, and cultural values. This seminar will explore the pan-Atlantic webs of association linking people, objects, and beliefs across and within the region. The best Atlantic history is interactive and crosses borders. The hope is that we will enlarge our horizons by placing the standard early North American story in a larger framework."

From the Lincoln and New York website:

"N-YHS invites teachers to preview Lincoln and New York at our Teacher Open Houses.

Registration is free and includes entry to the exhibition, tours with our trained educators and education staff, curriculum materials and light refreshments. Teachers also will enjoy a 10% discount at the Museum Store."

From a Harry S. Truman Library and Museum flyer:

"Do you teach Kansas or Missouri History? Do you teach a unit on Heroes in History? Are you looking for primary resources for a local history curriculum? If so, this workshop is designed for you. Area educators, museums, libraries and archives will share their resources and expertise on a wide range of famous Kansans and Missourians.

Presenters from the Kansas Historical Society, Jackson County Historical Society, the Truman Library, National Archives-Kansas City and Kansas City Public Library (Missouri Valley Special Collections) will share resources on individuals from both sides of state line.

Both famous and not so famous characters will be covered in this workshop. A wide range of teaching activities and materials will be shared and you will come away from the workshop with a ton of ideas for your classroom.

Characters such as Walt Disney and Tom Pendergast will be discussed during this workshop and an exciting first person characterization of Jesse James
will be featured on Friday evening.

Teachers will also be given the opportunity to tour the museum at the Truman Library and tour the new National Archives-Kansas City facility during the workshop."

Explore indigenous peoples' enduring connections to this fragile ecosystem and some of their current environmental partnerships to revitalize and protect the Chesapeake."
