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. If you find an error on any of the entries, please contact us.

The second unit takes students through the process of creating a CRM firm, bidding on a request for propssals, "excavating" a site, analysing the results, and completing the final report.
