Primary School, Primary Sources

Last month, Ms. Ivy's third grade class from Creative Arts Charter School visited the San Francisco History Center to learn about primary sources and how to research their neighborhoods.









We looked at Sanborn fire insurance maps, neighborhood newsletters, photographs, newspaper clippings, and books.

                                                        

                                                           
    

We also got a look at the Albion Handpress from 1909, a gift to Book Arts and Special Collections.

The staff here loved getting a homemade thank-you booklet at Thanksgiving time. Thank you for the thank you, Creative Arts students!
