School Partnership Programs
Young Historians in the Field
We collaborate with a select number of schools each year to design project-based learning experiences for their students. Using primary sources documents from museum’s collection and guidance from our Education staff, we’ll work together to sharpen your students’ research and literacy skills during this multi-visit outreach program.
Previous projects include:
- Elementary students researched and designed an exhibition on their school’s history
- Middle school students researched and developed tours about their school’s history
- Middle school students examined primary source documents about the impact of WWII on Richmond life
- Middle school students developed tours of different Richmond neighborhoods
- Middle school students researched and developed a web-based timeline for the history of their school
“I loved looking at what it was like in the past and I enjoyed seeing how neighborhoods have changed. I liked seeing what the fan is like now after seeing the old maps.”
