Are you an educator who wants to engage with LGBTQ archival material in your classroom and curricula? The staff of the GLBT Historical Society’s Dr. John P. De Cecco Archives & Special Collections invites you to a virtual event on Tuesday, March 19, 2024 at 6pm PT.
We’ll discuss how you can use our extensive collections, including digitized primary sources, for your classroom. We’ll provide guidance on resources available for K-12 educators looking to incorporate LGBTQ topics into their classes, including lesson plans, sample assignments, and source sets. This event will give educators for all levels tools to incorporate queer historical material into your work.
This is the second of two public events. The first event focused on Archives for Artists. This event series is supported by funding provided by the State of California, administered by the California State Library.
