Extractions: The Pennsylvania State Archives is an important resource for scholars, historians, genealogists, and the public. Created in 1903 as the Division of Public Records in the State Library, it was combined in 1945 with the State Museum and the Pennsylvania Historical Commission to form the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission (PHMC). Though primarily known as the official custodian of the permanently valuable records ( Record Groups ) of state government and its political subdivisions, the Archives is also, to a lesser extent, a repository for papers ( Manuscript Groups ) and records of individuals and families, businesses, and organizations that have statewide historical significance, as well as an Affiliated Archives of the National Archives and Records Administration. Included among the holdings of the Pennsylvania State Archives are more than 195 million pages of documents and manuscripts; twenty thousand reels of microfilm containing some twenty-two million images of county deeds, wills, mortgages, estate papers, and assessment books; and over one million special collection items such as photographic prints and negatives, maps, postcards, posters, audio recordings, and motion picture films. For more information about the Pennsylvania State Archives, please refer to the recent Pennsylvania Heritage magazine article

Have you run out of ideas for teaching about the U.S. states or Canadian provinces or Australian provinces, states, and territories? Are you looking for ideas to engage students in learning about neighboring states or regions? Many teachers have found that ABC books are a great way to actively involve students in learning about the world they live in. Those teachers share state ABC books from the library, then challenge students to research and create their own ABC books about their home state or another state. ABC books can be created in paper format or on a Web page. Ask the school librarian to set aside part of a bookshelf so students can share their ABC books with their schoolmates. Take a look at examples of online ABC books: An Alaska Alphabet Book , by Mrs. Harrison's first-grade students, and a

Restrictive laws passed by the British Parliament had made smuggling acceptable and even desirable in North Carolina and the other American colonies. Preying upon lightly armed merchant ships, the pirates seized their contents and sometimes killed those who resisted. Because of its shallow sounds and inlets, North Carolina's Outer Banks became a haven for many of these outlaws in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Blackbeard was the most notorious pirate in the history of seafaring. With a beard that almost covered his face, he would strike terror into the hearts of his victims, according to some early accounts, by weaving wicks laced with gunpowder into his hair, and lighting them during battle. A big man, he added to his menacing appearance by wearing a crimson coat, two swords at his waist, and bandoleers stuffed with numerous pistols and knives across his chest.

Proximity is importantunderstanding geography helps to explain why Zimbabwe is not much like Moscow, but shares characteristics with Egypt. It is important to understand things and places which are close, and those which are far apart. The horror and sorrow of September 11, 2001 will be with us for a long time. Almost all news now is international news. Our children and students need to know what is happening in their country and their world. The first part of knowing our world, and understanding what will happen now, is to know where places are. It is easy to fail to recognize the humanity of other peoples when we do not even know where they live. American men and women are now fighting far from home; we owe it to them to at least know where they are. Maps are vital to our understanding geography and the world we live in. They can be beautiful and fascinating, but if they are completely unfamiliar it can be difficult to learn from them.

http://www.state.nj.us/state/history/introduction.html

Extractions: Revised, 2001 INTRODUCTION WHY TEACH NEW JERSEY HISTORY According to Title 18A of the New Jersey State Statutes, each school district "shall adopt a suitable two-year course of study in the history of the United States, including the history of New Jersey, to be given to each student during the last four years of high school." Furthermore, the law states that each school district "shall adopt a course of study in community civics, the geography, history and civics of New Jersey. . . to be taken by all pupils in the public elementary schools in the grade or grades in which it given . . ." (Italics added.) The Department of Education has proposed changes to the Admin-istrative Code, but not to the above statute. Former Education Commissioner Leo Klagholz stated in a memorandum to the State Board of Education, dated May 6, 1998, that the proposed new chapter to the Administrative Code will "rescind all other curriculum mandates in the code, except those required in statute." Teaching New Jersey history and geography is a major priority of the Core Curriculum Content Standards. The Social Studies Standards specifically refer to a "historical understanding" of New Jersey in the following areas:

http://www.agr.state.tx.us/education/teach/mkt_beefhis.htm

Extractions: Objectives: Understand cattle's history and impact on Texas. Recall the state with the number one cattle production. Understand how cattle were transported differently in the 19th century than today. Understand the vocabulary relative to the cattle drives. Subject Area: Social Studies, English Language Arts and Reading Grade Level: Elementary and Middle school (Modification may easily be made for younger students.) Background Information for Discussion: Cattle history Christopher Columbus brought the first cattle to America in 1494 during his second voyage to the New World. By 1512, the animals he delivered to Hispaniola and others transported from Spain had produced herds large enough to supply Cuba, Puerto Rico and Jamaica. The islands began shipping cattle to Mexico in the 1520s. These animals increased to enormous herds that migrated north into South Texas, where they continued to multiply. More cattle came to Texas with Spanish missionaries during the 17th century. Texas Longhorns are descended from animals Spain introduced to the New World and English breeds that arrived in Texas with settlers during the 1800s. By the 1850s, Texas cattle raisers were driving small herds of Longhorns west to California and east to New Orleans and Pennsylvania. The Civil War halted the developing cattle trade, which did not resume until 1866, this time on a much larger scale. When the war ended, Texas had cattle but no money, while the victorious North, hungry for beef, had the funds to pay for it. Meanwhile, the railroad had spanned the country, making Kansas the nation's rail hub. Texans recognized the solution to filling their empty coffers. By driving herds north to the railroad and selling their steers, they could earn a healthy profit. Steers purchased from ranchers for $3 to $5 a head that year were re-sold in Kansas for $20 each.

Extractions: Grain products are derived from plants; mostly wheat, corn, rice and oats. These plants are low in fat and cholesterol-free. These plants are also a good source of vitamins and minerals. Corn, wheat and oats are good sources of "dietary fiber." Dietary fiber may be a protective factor for coronary heart disease and certain types of cancer. Examples of foods high in dietary fiber include: whole wheat bread, oatmeal and corn tortillas. Through processing, these plants are turned into grain products that are consumed on a daily basis. Examples of grain products are: Wheat: bread, flour tortillas, muffins, biscuits, pasta and bagels

Extractions: of the November 2001 Perspectives The State of the History Department: A Report on the Department Survey By Robert B. Townsend Additional Information on: History Job Market Academic Salaries History Students Past Reports T he latest AHA survey of history departments highlights the marked changes taking place in the teaching of history at four-year colleges and universities, particularly when contrasted with a similar survey conducted 20 years ago. The two surveys provide solid evidence of the dramatic increase in the number of part-time faculty, the waning proportion of tenured faculty, and the expansion of history departments to include new subjects and new fields. The responding departments reported employing 8,767 faculty. These numbers represent about half of the history faculty teaching in the United States, which we currently estimate at just under 17,000 at two- and four-year colleges and universities. (To place this in context, the Department of Education reports that American colleges and universities employed almost 1.1 million faculty and instructional staff in the fall of 1998.) Only three-quarters of the faculty at the responding institutions were employed full time by the university, although most of the full-time faculty (92.4 percent) were tenured or tenure track. Of those eligible for tenure, 75.9 percent already had tenure. Notably, almost 16.4 percent of those classified as full-time faculty had a reduced teaching load in the department due to other responsibilities in the department or institution (other commitments ranged from serving as chair of the department to being president of the university, as well as joint appointments).
