Teaching in the Archives: Engaging Students and Inverting Historical Methods Classes at The Historic New Orleans Collection

Pedagogy

The authors of this piece aim to introduce the use of primary documents in the classroom to better engage students with the history they are learning. The article offers insight into inverted course models: those that emphasize hands-on learning in classrooms and content delivery outside of them. Furthermore, they apply this method to museums and archives, displaying how introducing additional primary sources can spur a more enriching learning experience.
