The Northfield History Collaborative (NHC), a digital library of local history, recently
released a set of educational guides on Northfield-area history called Primary Source Sets. Primary source sets are online collections of digitized historical materials—from photographs to diaries and more—arranged by topic. These sets all reflect the local Northfield experience of a larger historic event, theme, or era. There are 12 topic areas covered. Each set includes a topic overview, links to approximately 20 digitized items on the Collaborative’s online database, discussion questions, related resources, and a guide to using primary sources for research. Several benchmarks of the Minnesota K-12 Academic Standards in both social studies and English language arts can be explored using these sets, as well. Click below for full details and links:
