PRES 502 Philadelphia Museums - Proclaiming + Claiming Freedom Division of Continuing Studies Professional Institute for Educators
3 credits 45.0 hours
600 level graduate course
In a continuing series of courses developed via educational partnerships with Philadelphia museums, this course features Philadelphia’s fine archives, libraries, museums and experts to gain knowledge of how historians work and the value of primary source research. On September 22, 1862, Abraham Lincoln issued the Preliminary Emancipation Proclamation, which went into full effect on January 1, 1863. As the 150th anniversary of this event approaches, the Education Committee of the Civil War History Consortium of Philadelphia is preparing teachers to approach this subject more effectively, using the resources of the American Swedish Museum, the Union League, Historical Society of Pennsylvania, the M tter Museum, the National Archives, City Archives, National Constitution Center and the Philadelphia History Museum. This experience is an essential component to help students think historically. Research on the Proclamation has shown that the motivations for and interpretations of this document are complex ? as either a document of freedom or of military expediency; in reality, its history and meaning are nuanced. This course provides teachers with current scholarship about the subject through lectures, activities, research and discussion. In addition to facts about the Proclamation?s writing, participants consider its relationship to the earlier abolition movements and its relationship to racial relations in the late 19th century. Special emphasis is placed on the influence of the Proclamation in Philadelphia, from its use as a fundraising tool through its promotion of black recruitment for the Union Army. Teachers choose an aspect of the Proclamation that relates to their curriculum to explore in many of Philadelphia?s fine archives and libraries. This course features the unique opportunity to learn directly from museum experts and materials to create methods to share this subject with students.

Themes include Cradle of Liberty, Workshop of the World, City of Neighborhoods and more. Both the content and the skills enrich the abilities of teachers to provide engaging and authentic experiences in the classroom as they meet academic standards related to historical analysis and the rights and responsibilities of citizens. Guided by archivists, museum educators and editors of The Encyclopedia of Greater Philadelphia, participants learn techniques for locating primary sources, synthesizing information for secondary sources and writing about history. Each participant will research and write an essay suitable for submission to The Encyclopedia of Greater Philadelphia and useful for teaching.
