EMPOWERING EDUCATORS WITH RESOURCES AND SUPPORT TO DELIVER IMPACTFUL LOCAL HISTORY LESSONS NATIONWIDE
Who we are…
Local History Hub was established in 2024 with a clear mission: to build a nationwide network of resources and support centers designed to empower educators in delivering high-quality local history instruction. Our goal is to provide teachers with the tools, expertise, and community needed to create engaging, impactful history lessons that connect students with their local heritage. As we grow, we aim to become the go-to resource for educators across the country, fostering a deeper appreciation for local history and its relevance in understanding broader historical narratives.
What we do…
Local History Hub is an innovative initiative designed to strengthen the connection between schools, local history sites, and community stakeholders, with the goal of enhancing the teaching of local history in educational settings. By facilitating collaboration, communication, and resource-sharing, Local History Hub will help ensure that local history holds a prominent place within school curricula, offering educators the tools and support they need to improve and enrich their local history lessons.
How we do it…
Through the establishment of a national network of Local History Hubs, we aim to provide schools with ongoing guidance, professional development, and access to a wealth of resources, ensuring that local history education is not only accurate but also engaging. At the heart of this initiative is the belief that children should develop a deep sense of curiosity and connection to the history of their communities. Local History Hub will empower schools nationwide to inspire students with the stories and legacies of their local heritage, fostering a lifelong interest in the past.
