Dear Abigail,
I hope you are prepared to count historical fiction as an educational
resource too. If so, you might like to think about Cynthia Harnett's
'Load of Unicorn' (Caxton in Westminster) or Geoffrey Trease's 'Hills of
Varna' (hunting Greek manuscripts in Croatia for the Aldines).
Best wishes,
Jane Wickenden

Subject: Creating educational resources
Dear colleagues,
For the dissertation requirement of an MA in Information Studies I am
creating a set of educational resources for the Special Collections at
the
Jubilee Library in Brighton, aimed at Key Stages 1-5 in History. The
collection consists primarily of rare books and manuscripts.
Although there is plenty of literature about educational use of archival
documents there appears to be less specifically for rare books. I would
be
very interested if anyone has any experience in this area or could give
me
any advice, either on the creation of the resources themselves or the
process of consulting with teachers and aligning with National
Curriculum
requirements.
If there is interest in the responses received I would be happy to
compile
a document for posting to the list.
Thank you,
Abigail Luthmann
