This work focuses on student perceptions of STEAM experiences to inform practitioners, researchers, and stakeholders in best practices. This synthesis brings forth the following contributions to STEAM education learned from elementary students’ perspectives of …
Revisiting Archival History / The Failure or Future of American Archival History
The quality of research on American archival history has been uneven and the quantity not very impressive. This essay reviews some of the highlights of American archival history research, especially the growing interest in cultural and public history that has produced some studies of interest to scholars curious about the history of archives. The essay also focuses more on why such research still seems so far removed from the interests of most ar…
The First U.S. History Textbooks
Since the early nineteenth century, textbooks have been primary tools for introducing students to American history. They have also been sources of controversies and debates in education and mainstays of the publishing industry. Barry Joyce is interested in the debates about the “soulless and disjointed nature of the American story as written in school histories” (p. 302) and wonders why, “no one, it seems, is considering why, after more than 180 …
Lester J. Cappon, an Unwritten Textbook, and Early Archival Education in the United States
Not long ago, preparing to become an archivist was a complicated affair, as we see in examining Lester Cappon's career as a teacher. Cappon ran a summer institute in historical administration at Radcliffe, participated in crucial debates about archival education, presented guest lectures in undergraduate and graduate courses whenever the opportunity presented itself, advocated for more rigorous graduate programs in archival work and documentary e…

The Diocesan Population Returns for 1563 and 1603
"This comprehensive edition makes available two of the most important sources for population studies in the early modern period. The bishops' returns of 1563 and 1603 represent the earliest census-type information that has survived in England and Wales. The 1563 returns, surviving from twelve dioceses, record the number of households; the 1603 documents, from nine dioceses, were intended to survey religious nonconformity and estimate the number o…

Encyclopedia of British Sport
An authoritative, one stop overview of the history of sports in Britain from the earliest times to the present. This remarkable volume should become the standard reference source for the history of British sport. It covers the sociology and psychology of sports, major events such as the cricket Test Matches and Wimbledon, key issues such as racism and drugs, and sport in drama, literature, and the media.
Searching for authority
The 1990's marked a turning point for archivists and electronic records management (ERM). Major conceptual solutions for ERM were proposed, and while these approaches have been adopted by some they have also generated intense debate and discussion. Three questions continue to remain unanswered. What is the authority for these approaches? How pervasive have these approaches been in influencing archival practice? How well known are these approaches…
The Great Newspaper Caper
Novelist and literary essayist Nicholson Baker once again has caused a stir in the library world, this time attacking the sale and/or destruction of original newspapers once they have been microfilmed. Ably and eloquently arguing his case, Baker is still wrong while succeeding in raising public awareness about the care of basic documentary sources and in forcing librarians and archivists alike to re-think basic assumptions and practices. My essay…
Declarations, independence, and text in the information age
The World Wide Web has presented new opportunities for the creation and dissemination of documents, especially in providing a greater power to citizens to proclaim opinions and to call for actions. There have been, of course, such documents before the Web. The Declaration of Independence was made all the more powerful, for example, because of the power of print to multiply copies and to support public readings of it as the American colonies took …
Drawing Sea Serpents
A remarkable quantity and range of books on the Information Age is being published, presenting just as remarkable a breadth of opinions and convictions about this era. While it is difficult to keep up with these publications, the effort is worth it because they provide a means of contemplating just what one's place is in an age noted for rapid change, great promises, and equally great perils. This essay provides an impressionistic description of …
Messrs. Washington, Jefferson, and Gates
Within the past six months a debate has ensued about the utility of documentary letterpress editions in the late twentieth century as a means for preserving archival records of the United States. The catalyst for this debate was the decision by the U. S. National Historical Publications and Records Commission to revise its funding priorities away from the documentary editions in favor of state regrant projects and research and development in elec…
