Beginning November 1st, the American Social History Project's latest Web resource, Picturing United States History: An Online Resource for Teaching with Visual Evidence, will host a month-long online discussion on teaching the Civil War with visual evidence. The forum will be guest-moderated by Professor Alice Fahs of the University of California-Irvine. Go to the Civil War forum <http://picturinghistory.gc.cuny.edu/?p=885> and join the discussion! Representing a unique collaboration between historians and art historians, Picturing United States History is based on the belief that visual materials are vital to understanding the American past. Visitors to the website will find Web-based guides, essays, case studies, classroom activities, and online forums to assist high school teachers and college instructors to incorporate visual evidence into their classroom practice. The website supplements other U.S. history resources with visual materials, analysis, and activities that allow students to engage with the process of interpretation in a more robust fashion than through text alone. Picturing United States History is supported by a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities as part of its We, The People initiative.
