The Participating ACLS Learned Societies Title Selection The Author The Presses Working with the University Presses Contractual Arrangements ... Summation Title Selection The History E-Book Project does not aim to subordinate the historian's work to computer formats and delivery systems, but rather to achieve the opposite: to harness technology in the interests of the historian's craft. It places its prime emphasis upon the highest quality, the most thorough, and the most painstaking research, allowing the historian to employ both analytical and interpretive skills upon a large body of documents, defined in the broadest possible terms (whether archival, textual, ephemeral, visual, even sound). The aim of this project is to harness technology's ability to provide scholars with new and innovative ways of using and presenting historical material and research and of creating cogent and compelling works of history writing. In general these projects, even at their most simple level, should exceed the capabilities of print publications. They will be searchable and available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. They could contain a far larger number of illustrations, in color or black-and-white; and could include supporting documents that can range from the dozens to the thousands. The interface used by the ACLS History E-Book Project will allow the reader to follow the author's argument and narrative on one level but then could also allow direct access to a broad array of documentary sources including complete digital archives at the click of a button.

65. FAS Handbook: Chapter 3: History
    program designed to introduce students to the ways in which historians recreatethe past, and to build skills of historical analysis, writing and research.  
    http://www.registrar.fas.harvard.edu/handbooks/student/chapter3/history.html
    
    Extractions: FAS Courses of Instruction History Professor Lizabeth Cohen, Head Tutor History is the study of the past. It encompasses every dimension of human interactionsocial life, the economy, culture, thought and politics. Students of history study individuals, groups, communities, and nations and they study them from every imaginable perspective using all the techniques of the humanities and social sciences to raise questions and probe for answers. There is no concentration more diverse than History and none more individualistic. One can choose to study any part of the world in any epoch. History is as long ago as the most ancient civilizations or as current as yesterday's newspaper. Every moment but the present moment is part of the past and each can be the object of historical study. With its heavy emphasis upon critical reading skills, the evaluation of evidence, and upon writing, History's program is an ideal preparation for professional and business careers. And each year, a number of History concentrators choose to become professional historians and enter leading graduate programs in America and abroad. In any case, long after it ceases to become an academic study, reading history will provide a lifetime of pleasure. REQUIREMENTS Basic Requirements: 12 half-courses Required courses a. History 10a and 10b. Students with a score of 5 in AP European history may substitute for History 10b a course in any area of history.

Check out United States Newspaper Program participants - National Endowment for the Humanities U.S. Newspaper Program In 1905, the Legislative Assembly enacted the North Dakota Newspaper Law, requiring official newspapers to send copies of every issue to the State Historical Society of North Dakota. In addition, the agency has attempted to collect as many extant earlier North Dakota newspapers as possible. This compilation of newspapers spans the period from early territorial days to the present. Newspapers contain a great deal of information for the genealogist and the historical researcher. For genealogists, the newspapers may include birth and marriage announcements and death notices and obituaries. Individual newspapers provide information concerning local events throughout the ancestor's lifetime, and state and national events that were instrumental in shaping lives. Newspaper editorials permit the historical researcher to uncover the dynamics of an area. Information concerning the social and cultural history, economics, politics, and individualism of members of the community can be found. City and county commission minutes and other official records were printed in the newspaper. Advertisements provide information concerning businesses that were a part of the community.

Capitalize when referring to a specific: Congress, but not congressmen; Senator, but not senators; Constitution, but not constitutional; Queen Elizabeth, but not the queens of England; President Johnson, but not the presidents of the United States. Place commas and periods within quotation marks; colons and semi-colons are always placed outside the quotation marks. A preposition is not a good word to end a sentence with. And do not begin or end a sentence with a conjunction. Avoid abbreviations in your text except for titles, such as Dr., Mr., or Jr. Ellipses in a quotation should be indicated by three periods with a space between each ( . . . ); ellipses at the end of a sentence require a fourth period with the first in the immediate space following the last letter of the last word quoted. Never use an ellipsis mark at the beginning of a quotation to indicate omission. If you interpolate any words of your own in a quotation, indicate them in square brackets. The same applies to the use of "

    Extractions: Scoring rubrics are among the most popular innovations in education (Goodrich, 1997a; Jensen, 1995; Ketter, 1997; Luft, 1997; Popham, 1997). However, little research on their design and their effectiveness has been undertaken. Moreover, few of the existing research and development efforts have focused on the ways in which rubrics can serve the purposes of learning and cognitive development as well as the demands of evaluation and accountability. The two studies that made up the Project Zero's research focused on the effect of instructional rubrics and rubric-referenced self-assessment on the development of 7th and 8th grade students' writing skills and their understandings of the qualities of good writing. Background Articulated clear criteria for assessing writing, Asked students to assess their own work, Provided opportunities for improvement through revision, and Was sensitive to students' developmental stages, referring to appropriate grade level standards.
