Review :
It is worth praising Theimer for her structured approach to the case studies that ensures all authors reflect on successes and lessons learned. This is exactly the right approach and enables the reader to develop an understanding of the skills, methods and tools that each case study adopts. . . .Any information professional or related educator will do well to read this book and to reflect on the stimulating practices, as well as the wonderful innovation and creativity demonstrated by the case studies. It is appreciated that the case studies included are very practical in their application. The ideas immediately appeal to archivists who work either with students or faculty at their institution, or would like a way to start…. This book is certainly a must read for those considering the expansion of their educational programs, and is on point with current trends in education. The case studies in this volume not only illustrate the explosion in the use of archival materials in active learning classrooms, they highlight the synergistic benefit when archivists and instructors learn from each other and co-create curriculum based on primary sources. In these studies, archivists introduce K-12 teachers to using primary sources, and teachers introduce new tools for the digital humanities. Drawn in by "archives fever," students learn history, writing, and digital skills by archiving websites, curating exhibits, and saving local history. Including chapters from a mix of senior archivists and new professionals, this wonderful collection of essays provides a variety of suggestions for archivists wanting to bring archival collections to teachers and students. The ideas are accessible to archivists in all kinds of repositories and will help them bring a new generation of users to archives.
