Are you a K-12 teacher, college or university faculty member, librarian, homeschool educator, or museum educator? Join the Boston Athenæum this summer for a workshop on expanding the use of primary sources in learning environments. We'll explore materials related to the abolitionist movement and the Underground Railroad, using the Harriet Hayden Albums as a starting point.

Participants will have hands-on opportunities to work with rare materials from the Athenæum's collections. And guests from the Boston African American National Historic Site, Historic Newton, and the Museum of African American History will join us for special workshop sessions.
