The National Archives and Presidential Libraries, Internet2 community, National Park Service, and cultural and historic organizations nationwide are proud to offer a new lineup for the 2022 Presidential Primary Sources Project (PPSP), a series of free, standards-aligned, 45-minute interactive videoconferencing webinars aimed at students in grades 4-12.
The series will run from January through March of 2022. In addition to the interactive video component, each program will be live-streamed and recorded for on-demand viewing for free.
Students will learn how to use and analyze primary sources to better understand the historical legacies of our nation’s presidents.
Get a sneak peek of what to expect with this short clip from last year’s program by the FDR Presidential Library & Museum’s Jeff Urbin:
