Homework: History

Your project homework is to create a mini-exhibit about your treaty: a collection of primary and secondary sources that will contextualize and enrich our understanding of the treaty itself. Your project will include a curatorial statement that describes how and why you've chosen this collection of sources, and four short statements about the four primary sources you are working with (including your treaty). Draw on at least three secondary sources to write the full text of your exhibit.

1. 3 Primary Sources (other than your treaty). Primary sources are items created during the time period the treaty was made (ie, the 1700s or 1800s). They could be photographs, maps, letters, government reports, newspaper articles, census records, or contemporary photographs of historic objects.

2. 3 Secondary Sources to contextualize your treaty and other primary sources. Secondary sources include scholarly books and articles published by University Presses or in peer-reviewed journals. Wikipedia, encyclopedias, and random internet pages do not count as secondary sources. You may use the official websites of present-day Native nations as secondary sources (and potential resources for primary sources). You may use both primary and secondary sources from the syllabus as sources.

3. A Curatorial Statement: 500 to 1000 words. Introduce readers to your treaty and the exhibit that you've created about it. What is the story, perspective, theme, or focus that you are trying to illustrate in your exhibit? What are the research questions you started with and how is your exhibit answering them? Your statement should include at least three secondary sources. Quote from and rely on these sources to shape your exhibit narrative.

4. Short Description of Each Primary Source (including your treaty): 250-500 words each, 4 total statements. Introduce and describe each primary source. When, where, and by whom was it made? Who was it made for? Why did you choose it for your exhibit?

How does it answer your research questions? Bring in and quote secondary sources here as relevant to contextualizing each source.
