We have produced a range of online resources for you to use in the classroom. The resources follow an enquiry-based approach and are based on documents from our collections. These include lessons which you can print-out or present on a whiteboard.
For schools in the local area we also have handling materials that are available for loan. There are two sets of resources, one on Florence Nightingale and the other on the First World War. The handling materials can be loaned for a 3 week period and must be collected from Manuscripts and Special Collections, King's Meadow Campus, Lenton Lane, Nottingham, NG7 2NR. Please contact us at mss-library@nottingham.ac.uk for more information.
