Learning Center
Welcome to the Oregon History Project Learning Center. The information for
the Center has been created by teachers, historians, and museum educators
to help teachers and students explore and learn more about Oregon’s
past. The approaches, lesson plans, and methodologies will support teachers
as they help their students develop their own relationships to history and
inquiry. Students will learn to create their own questions, to read and interpret
primary and secondary sources, and to design projects based on local and regional
history.
The Learning Center pages include an Introduction, site guides for teachers
and students and for the general
user, a Teacher’s guide, Interpretive essays, Historic
Viewers—interactive learning tools that represent change over time
in Oregon History, an Annotated Bibliography on topics related to Oregon Country
history, and Expert pages—documents written by cross-disciplinary
experts (cartographers, achaeologists, and anthropologists for example) who
offer ideas for teaching history through the use of specific types of primary
resources.
In addition to the Learning Center resources, we invite teachers and students
to explore the Oregon Biographies and Focus on Oregon History web pages.
Oregon
Biographies features stories and information relating to some of Oregon’s
most significant historical figures. The Focus
on Oregon History pages are designed to provide the user with a sense
of the diverse people and events that comprise the history of Oregon and are
accompanied by a collection of primary sources from the Oregon Historical
Society Research Library.
