The American Civil War Center At Historic Tredegar was designated a Smithsonian Affiliate in 2002.
As an affiliate, the Center has access to resources of the Smithsonian Institution including
artifacts, traveling exhibits, programming, and technical assistance. The Center is currently
one of only nine affiliates in Virginia. |
The Virginia Center for Digital History and the Center are working together to create
a history lab online where educators and students “do” history. Access to archives of primary
source materials will enable students to investigate questions, draw conclusions, and share
their work. Our approach will be distinctive and appealing for while there are numerous and
growing digital archives on the web there are few sites aimed at doing experiential education
for the study of the past. |
