Herb - social history for every classroom

menuAmerican Social History Project  ·    Center for Media and Learning

HERB's classroom-ready primary documents and teaching activities engage students with deep historical questions and are designed to support learning at every level. Grounded in decades of work with history teachers in real classrooms, HERB reflects ASHP/CML’s mission of making the past, and the working people and ordinary Americans who shaped it, vivid and meaningful.

There are two ways to find what you need in HERB. You can do a keyword search and then narrow your search results, or you can browse our collections, teaching activities, and historical eras.
