The Center for History and New Media (CHNM) is pleased to announce the launch of its newest website: Making the History of 1989. This project provides students and teachers access to a substantial collection of high-quality primary sources; a set of multimedia interviews that make visible the processes by which historians transform events and sources into historical narratives; and teaching materials that provide historical context, tools, and strategies for teaching the history of 1989 with primary sources in ways that make “history making” visible and vivid.
This project was made possible by financial support from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the German Historical Institute (D.C.).
