    Extractions: above left and right) Hampton slave quarters The NPS is encouraging local communities, property owners, and organizations to conduct historical research on sites associated with the Underground Railroad. Historically significant and verifiable properties should be nominated to the Network, and can be nominated those properties to the National Register (NR). Designating the site as a National Historic Landmark (NHL) is also a possibility for nationally significant properties with a high degree of integrity. NR listings and NHL's associated with the Underground Railroad can be included in a National Register "travel itinerary" on the NR web site. The site can be accessed at: http://www.cr.nps.gov/nr/travel/underground/ How to research UGRR properties http://www.cr.nps.gov/history/online_books/ugrr/exugrr1.htm Although the Underground Railroad has been an integral part of American history and folklore for well over 150 years, the recent past has seen an increased public interest in the identification of historic sites associated with the experiences of fugitive slaves. Since the late 1960s, many researchers have utilized the perspectives and methodologies of archeologists, anthropologists, social historians to focus on the lives and communities of enslaved and free Americans. Their methods permit historic site administrators, interpreters, and members of the general public to create more meaningful, inclusive, and documented accounts of the Underground Railroad. Because historic sites play a critical role in interpreting our national heritage to a broad audience, it is important that public historians supplement oral narratives and legends of the Underground Railroad with documentation that supports local accounts. It is also important to place the Underground Railroad in the broader context of slavery and American history.

    and skills should be developed through teaching history, the second chapter ofthe american National Standards lists five specific goals.  
    http://www.fas.harvard.edu/~rijs/Global_HistorEd1_v8n2_2002.html
    
    Extractions: As a teacher of Japanese history and world history in a Japanese high school for many years, I was very interested when I heard about the first efforts in the United States to design national standards for history, which defined curriculum content divided into the two categories of world and U.S. history. The national standards incorporated both detailed listing of study topics and extensive practical examples of relevant lessons, but I also knew there had been furious debate over these contents. I had previously been involved in international exchange with China and South Korea concerning history education. My colleagues and I had often discussed our attitudes toward the fact that state control has been especially strong in education in East Asia, in history education above all. In this context, when I heard about the creation of national standards for history teaching in the U.S., I was curious as to what sorts of standards would be devised, and what sorts of debates would take place, and I wanted to consider this in comparison with history education in Japan. As a first step, with a group of high school teacher colleagues, I read and translated the American national standards into Japanese.

    http://naples.cc.sunysb.edu/CAS/ubdepts2.nsf/pages/his
    
    Extractions: History is the systematic study of peoples, states, and societies from antiquity to our current times. Using both written records and material artifacts, historians attempt to reconstruct and interpret change over time in every facet of human experience, from political and economic systems to family life and gender roles, to name a few. The study of history is not only intrinsically interesting, but also contributes useful insights into the contemporary world and its problems. History majors develop an in-depth knowledge of a specific region of the world, including its history, geography, and culture. In the process, they also learn how to conduct historical research, and to develop convincing arguments based on the evidence they uncover. Effective oral and written communication skills are strongly emphasized in all history courses.

    Extractions: History Resources History on the Internet Welcome to the new, Blackwell History Resource Center! You will find here a collection of some of the best history sites available on the web. From British to European to American and World history, to organizations, newsgroups, mailing lists and indices, we have sifted through the many history web pages available on the Internet. One of the wonderful facets (and one of its drawbacks) of the World Wide Web is that anyone can create a web page. Mirroring this, the world wide web has attracted both professional and amateur historians, who maintain web sites either as part of a grant-funded project, as a professional endeavor, or simply as a hobby. Some of those pages are great, others are not worth visiting. So, then, what is the purpose of this site? Is it a collection of links, like those that exist on so many other pages on the 'net? Well, yes and no. It is a collection of links in the sense that you will find dozens and dozens of links to history sites all over the world. However, the collection you'll find here is not intended to be comprehensive, nor, in fact, does it contain the most popular history web sites around. Instead you'll find here some of the best web pages out there.

    Extractions: National Historic Landmarks are preferably identified through theme studies . Theme studies are the most effective way of identifying and nominating properties because they provide a comparative analysis of properties associated with a specific area of American history, such as the fur trade, earliest Americans, women's history, Greek Revival architecture, Man in Space, or labor history. Theme studies provide a national historic context for specific topics in American history or prehistory. In order to make the case for national significance, a theme study must provide that necessary national historic context so that national significance may be judged for a number of related properties. Theme Studies is also available. Theme studies available electronically are indicated by the link provided from the title.
