Windows on History projects link teachers and students with museums and historical societies in their communities.  Students use primary source documents and artifacts to learn about local history and link it to national events. Together, students, teachers, and museum staff create websites to share their discoveries with the community.

Resources:

• Links to Windows on History Student Websites developed by teams of teachers and students from across Massachusetts.
• Project guidelines, including detailed instructions and web page templates for organizing Windows on History online projects. 
• Examples of other local school sites from previous projects of the Center for Educational Software Development. 
• Links to school sites from a similar project by the Vermont Historical Society.
