Introduction

Welcome to the History and Education Program Research Guide!

This research guide provides resources to support the goals of the History and Education Program to "address important educational questions, first, by examining the ideas, individuals, and institutions of the past to determine their influence on their own times; and, second, by bringing historical knowledge and perspective to bear on current educational issues."
