School
Projects |

Our on-line School Projects present issues in
Westchester County history using resources from
the Archives collections as well as from a few other
local repositories. Included for each project is an activity packet using primary documents. The contents are used in a context that relates to
the Social Studies curriculum where possible.

The Virtual Archives website relates various aspects of Westchester County's

include activity packets, educators can easily devise their own based
on the materials contained in that site.
