The Partnership for History Education links Colonial Williamsburg, the National Council for History
Education, and National History Day, as we strive to carry resources beyond the geographic and
temporal boundaries of the museum and classroom settings. The Partnership is dedicated to
promoting and improving the teaching of history in America's schools. It also seeks to make all
Americans aware of the importance of history in our national culture.
Visionary Dr. W. A. R. Goodwin and benefactor John D. Rockefeller Jr., undertook the vast
preservation and restoration of Colonial Williamsburg in order " that the future may learn
from the past." Each generation of stewards for this legacy has explored new ways to examine
and interpret Williamsburg's history, discovering again and again that history is not static.
History is a partnership between those who came before and those who seek to learn from their
experiences.
What better tool could the current generation use for this dynamic exploration than the fluid,
circular, ever-evolving World Wide Web? Just as the Internet has no beginning or end, the
inspiration of Colonial Williamsburg is equally boundless.
Join us in this special partnership to learn and to teach.
