This new online workshop helps you, the teacher, integrate technology into your curriculum using archival records, or what we generally call primary sources.

NO-FEAR: New Orientation for Exploring Archival Records is the result of a passion to explore historical artifacts; from digging up old cork bottles to finding arrowheads lying in plowed fields. Then came digital imaging and the Internet and I was hooked. Digital images are added daily so let's take a look and find some that make you say, Wow!

The discovery and exploration of archival records can be used to teach any subject. Let's explore together. This workshop is to help you do what you do best -- teach!
