    The 2024 Presidential Primary Sources Project is an interactive distance-learning program created in collaboration between Internet2, National Archives and numerous National Parks, Presidential Libraries and Museums around the country. These sites present a series of free 45- to 60-minute interactive videoconferencing programs aimed at students in grades 4–12.

    The 2024 program series will engage students in learning how to use and analyze primary sources as they are guided on a journey through the historical legacies of US presidents such as Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, and George Washington.

    Students get to learn from an expert and virtually visit a location of historical value and interest. In this immersive learning experience, students are not just recipients of information but also participants in the actual learning process, asking questions and analyzing artifacts. The series will run from January 16 through April 11, 2024. Free registration is now open.

    Previous recordings from the sessions held from January through April 2023 are available on YouTube.  See, for example, last school year’s program on Rosalynn Carter – Partner in Chief, a timely and very well-done tribute to the late First Lady.
