Using the resources of your local communityHistory is all around you This document provides suggestions for using local history as an educational resource. It recommends investigating local buildings, signs, photographs, indigenous sites, museums, cemeteries, statues, and more. Asking questions about when things were built, how they have changed or not changed over time, and what they can reveal about the past. Local history brings history to life and helps students make connections to their own community.
