New OER on Historical Research

  • 1.  New OER on Historical Research

    Hi everyone,

    I'm excited to say that my OER textbook for student historians is now available! You can find it here in my university's institutional repository: Past Makes Perfect: A Mini Handbook for Student Historians I completed this textbook as part of the Open Education Network's pilot program for the publishing software Ketty. I included a section on primary sources and interactive scenarios for students. Please feel free to share or adapt/remix it for your own audiences and let me know if you have any questions!
