Churchill Archive for Schools
About the Churchill Archive for Schools
The Churchill Archive for Schools provides an expanding range of classroom-ready resources specially written and developed by leading history educators to support the teaching of History at secondary level.
The site is freely available to all without registration.
Resources included in the Churchill Archive for Schools are based around four broad themes:
- Key developments in modern British and empire history
- Key developments in modern world history
- Anglo-American relations in the twentieth century
- Churchill: discussion, debate and controversy
Within these overarching themes, ‘investigations’ — in the form of challenges or questions — have been prepared to introduce students to archive sources. The investigations - or document-based questions - are all written by authors who are experienced educators and are designed to engage and excite as well as inform and challenge.
Each contains six to eight documents from the Churchill Archive, together with background information, to help them interpret the sources, and to understand and answer the investigation.
