In the fall of 2002, students in
W. Dean Eastman's Primary Research
Through the History of Beverly class researched the social
history of Beverly Public Schools. These high school juniors
and seniors compared events in Beverly with other cities and
towns in an effort to understand aspects of American life
between 1850 and 1930.
To find documents, students used the Beverly
Educational Archives and the Monroe C. Gutman Library's Special
Collections. The Beverly Educational Archives, a new research
facility located in Beverly High School, offered students
a look at school life from many angles by the use of administrative,
teacher, and student-produced documents. The Gutman Library,
located at Harvard's Graduate School of Education, is an unparalleled
collection of public and private school history, spanning
two centuries. Thanks to Marylene Altieri, Special Collections
archivist, students were invited to investigate their topics
at Gutman.
