“Imagine Your Collection in the Hands of Thousands of Children.”
We work with museums, archives, interpretive centers and digital humanities initiatives. We dust off your histories and make them fresh for new and diverse audiences, putting the ‘public’ into ‘public history.’
If It Stays in Your Archive, It Can’t Change the World
Teachers are public historians. They’re highly trained professionals, So let’s stop giving them 50-page PDFs and one-size-fits-all lesson plans, and start working with them to create better tools for students to engage in citizenship, activism and historiography.
It’s great to have 40 million documents, but not so great if they never get used. We teach educators to use archives for actionable and measurable outcomes.
We’ll Assemble a Team that Works for You
Teachers should be architects, not just objects, of the conversations we have about history education. We actively enfranchise the expertise of real live teachers. Then we build teams that speak directly to your needs and target population, putting you in conversation with educators that aren’t just talking theory. We bake in evaluation and assessment so we know what’s being taught and what our students are learning, so we learn together in real time to get your history into the right hands in the right way.
Past Collaborations
“Kate’s work on behalf of the Hard History Project is extraordinary. She is aware of the latest trends in historical scholarship at the same time that she is ideal to convey and make available such insights into K-12 classrooms.”
— Andrés Reséndez, Professor of History, University of California-Davis
“Digital archives are only as rich as the tools we have to explore them. Kate and her team give educators the instruments they need to incorporate and engage with digital collections in the classroom.”
— Mary Niall Mitchell, Co-Director, Midlo Center for New Orleans Studies
Let’s build historical learning experiences that will last a lifetime.
We’re figuring this out as we go along. We promise not to spam you if you want to go along for the ride.
