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.

Tapia, Emily McClung de
2002 A First Look at Public Outreach in Mexican and Guatemalan Archaeology. The SAA Archaeological Record, 2(2): 27-29, Society for American Archaeology
This article is about how to improve public opinion of archaeology in Mexico and Guatemala through outreach and education. The author discusses different "publics" and she bases her conclusions about education on interviews with various professionals. The important questions to consider in outreach and education are: (1) What does the public want/need?; (2) How can knowledge be communicated?; and (3) How can sites be protected when they have such a close relationship with tourism and the economy?

Deutsch, Warren N.
1976 A Non-Lecture Classroom Approach to Teaching Archaeology. Council on Anthropology and Education Quarterly , 7(1): 42-43, American Anthropological Association
This article discusses teaching anthropology at the introductory college level though the use of an "archaeology kit." The kit allows students to gain archaeological experience and to learn interpretation though data such as, maps, artifact replicas, photographs, and reports, rather than through the physical dig. The article provides syllabus information, including citations to the course texts and outlines the student responsibilities for the course. Although the activities are geared to college students, the lessons can easily be adapted and used in High School introduction courses.

2024 A Practitioner’s Guide to Public Archaeology. A Practitioner's Guide to public Archaeology: Intentional Programming for Effective Outreach, , Rowman & Littlefield
Many archaeologists learn by trial and error while developing public programs and events and are mostly unaware that others in the profession are undergoing the same challenges. Archaeologists seldom receive professional development on K-12 pedagogy, public engagement, program design, or assessment. For many in the field, public outreach is often an under-funded and under-resourced extension of an already overwhelming workload; yet this work is incredibly important. More than thirty public archaeology practitioners will help you reduce the guesswork and stress behind program planning in this engaging and reader-friendly handbook. The focus is on key components of planning, implementing, and assessing public archaeology programming. Learn how to connect with your audience; build an accessibility mindset; create intentional goals and outcomes; identify resources, collaborators, and other logistical needs; and conduct assessments to better understand your impact.
