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.

Newell, Gillian E.
1999 American and Mexican Archaeology: Differences in Meaning and Teaching. SAA Bulletin, 17(5): 29-31 (Available on-line. Page numbers in citation relate to print copy.), Society for American Archaeology
This article compares college-level education in archaeology in the United States and Mexico. The author describes how the Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology in the United States is a general introduction to the different fields of anthropology with an emphasis on academic archaeology. In Mexico, students specialize in archaeology or other fields of anthropology and receive intensive training, with an emphasis on service to the state and communication of information to the public. The author describes the historical context in which these educational systems developed and questions how we can improve educational programs using this international comparison.

Morgan, Colleen
2017 An Unexpected Archaeology: An Interventionist Strategy for Video Games and Archaeology. The SAA Archaeological Record, 17(2): 28-32, Society for American Archaeology
In this article the author discusses several digital heritage landscapes. She argues that photorealistic archaeological reconstructions can actually hinder education; placing the models in popular venues leads to a more interactive experience. The author describes a public outreach event at the University of York in England where children came to participate in an archaeological reconstruction of the Mesolithic Star Carr site using the popular game "Minecraft."
