Abigail, We finished an HLF-funded project in January 2006 to create web
packages linked to the National Curriculum. It has proved so popular
that our Education Officer's job has been put on the establishment and
her web packages are registered with Curriculum Online. They use a
mixture of archives and books and some are based exclusively on early
printed books - including ones on our slavery collections which are
being rolled into various programmes for Slavery year. If you would like
to see them go to http://www.dur.ac.uk/4schools/
