The Rosen Publishing Primary Source Library
The best way to learn about historical events is from those who lived through them. That belief is at the heart of this collection that combines detailed explanations of pivotal moments in modern history with first-person accounts from people who experienced those moments. With topics that range from the attack on Pearl Harbor and the civil rights movement to 9/11 and the COVID-19 pandemic, events in both the distant and recent past are made personal for young people through this approachable and interactive primary source library.
• Readers are invited to scan QR codes to access a collection of videos featuring the stories of people who lived through major historical events
• Critical-thinking questions invite readers to examine different viewpoints of the same event
• This fresh and engaging take on curricular social studies topics invites readers to think of primary sources in a modern way and encourages them to think about history beyond memorizing names and dates
