SHEC'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,
SHEC 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 SHEC. You can do a keyword search
and then narrow your search results, or you can browse our collections, teaching
activities, and historical eras.
