Please join us on Wednesday, February 29, at 1:00pm for our Athenaeum titled What Was New in History? History through History Textbooks presented by Gregory Schmidt, Professor, History.
The presentation will focus on change and continuity in the content of college-level American History textbooks have changed since the early 20th century. The public generally assumes that history textbooks represent the unchanging Truth about history. Examining change and continuity in history textbooks, however, reveals that history sometimes changes substantially and that the Truth is an elusive target.
The Krueger Library Athenaeum is located on the second floor of the Krueger Library on the bluff side.
