Curriculum Materials
The Center for the Study of the Pacific Northwest creates and distributes packets of curriculum materials for secondary-school courses on the history of Washington and the Pacific Northwest. Designed to supplement textbooks and other means of instruction, the packets focus on key issues in Northwest history. Providing a wide assortment of primary sources allows students to interact with the very materials that historians use to reconstruct the past. Each packet includes an introduction for teachers to the issues at hand; a list of additional readings; suggestions for lesson plans and classroom activities; and brief introductions to put the documents in context. Permissions have been obtained to reproduce these materials, which are available in hard copy as well as on-line.
Pacific Northwest Quarterly is the leading scholarly journal devoted to the history and culture of the northwestern United States, Alaska, and western Canada. Published at the University of Washington since 1906, PNQ offers articles, edited primary-source documents, book reviews, announcements of conferences, information on archival collections, and lists of publications, dissertations, and theses—all in history and related fields of study. The journal is illustrated and partially indexed. Articles posted on this site suggest the variety of topics and the quality of work published in PNQ.
