THEN has initiated an annotated bibliography project. The Annotated Bibliography is a searchable database of heritage education references for professionals as well as a listing of resources for educators and the general public. The Annotated Bibliography contains books, journals, magazines, newsletters, classroom materials, videos, blogs, and websites.
While accessible and usable by members and nonmembers, only members of THEN may contribute to the Annotated Bibliography. If you would like to contribute, please join THEN under the appropriate membership category. The resource entry form is located in the Members Only section of the website.

2011     Collaborative Archaeology and Strategic Essentialism: Native Empowerment in Tidewater Virginia. Historical Archaeology, 45(1): 10-23, Springer International
The article discusses the involvement of descendant communities at Werowocomoco, the 15th century captial of the Powhatan Chiefdom. The focus on involving the native community into the collaborative archaeology program is to "decolonize" the past. From the project, it is determined that decolonizing will take longer than expected, but involving descendant communities is vital to both the project and to the research.

2020     Communities in Heritage: Global Issues, Local Values. , , Routledge Press
Communities in Heritage explores the relationship between communities, their cultural heritage, and the global forces that control most of the world's wealth and resources in today's world. Bringing together scholars and heritage practitioners from nine countries, this book contributes to the ongoing dialogue on community heritage, by analyzing impediments to full community participation. The undermining of local communities comes at a high price. As the chapters in this book demonstrate, the knowledge embedded within traditional and Indigenous heritage creates communities that are more resilient to environmental and social stressors and more responsive to contemporary challenges such as climate change, environmental degradation, post-disaster recovery and re-location. Cultural heritage practices often fail to capitalize upon local knowledge and traditional skills and undervalue the potential contribution of local communities in finding creative and resourceful solutions to the issues they are confronting. Arguing that the creation of successful community heritage projects requires ongoing reflection on the aims, methods, financing and acceptable outcomes of said projects, the volume also demonstrates that the decolonization of western-focused heritage practices is an ongoing process, by which subaltern groups are brought forward and given a space in the heritage narrative. Reflecting on trends that impact communities and heritage sites across different geographical regions, Communities and Cultural Heritage will be of interest to academics, students and practitioners of cultural heritage, archaeology and anthropology around the world.

2010     Community Centered Praxis in Conflict Archaeology: Creating an Archaeology of Redress with the 1923 Race Riot in Rosewood, Florida. The SAA Archaeological Record, 10(4): 46-49, Society for American Archaeology
This article describes the creation of a virtual Rosewood, a town in Florida that was the setting for the 1923 race riot. Many groups are trying to educate the public about social injustice and the need for redress, and the author describes how archaeologists can be a part of this. Created using counter-mapping and geographic information systems, the virtual Rosewood contains digital documentaries with survivor and descendant accounts. This community-centered project aims to educate the public about past wrongs, challenge historical representations, and open dialogue about current social injustice.
